Pablo Escobar’s Estate Is Reportedly Gunning At 2 Chainz's Head For $10M
With $250K Grammy
Championship Ring
ATLANTA, GA – 2 Chainz isn’t in the good graces of the late Pablo Escobar’s estate. TMZ reports Chainz is being sued by Escobar Inc. for a min- imum of $10 million over the name of the “Proud” rapper’s two Atlanta restaurants, Esco- bar Restaurant and Tapas.
Escobar Inc. says in their lawsuit they own the trade- mark to Escobar’s likeness and Chainz’s use of it on the two restaurant locations, a website, social media, mer- chandise and even menu items
without permission violates federal law. In addition to the $10 million minimum, the es- tate is also seeking an injunc- tion blocking use of the name and likeness at both locations.
Hip Hop has had a long- standing infatuation with the late drug lord who died the wealthiest criminal in history in 1993 with a drug empire worth an estimated $30 bil- lion. While Nas has gone by the nickname “Escobar” since the onset of his rap ca- reer.
Roddy Ricch copped seven $250,000 diamond champi- onship rings from celebrity jeweler Elliot Eliantte last month and Mustard just re- ceived one of them.
On Tuesday (June 16), the super-producer shared a video of the ring on his Instagram Story from the studio with Roddy. From the back- ground, the Compton rapper congratulated his collaborator for the 2020 Grammy nomi- nation on their No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Ballin.”
“Congratulations,” Roddy tells Mustard in the clip. “You know what I’m saying?

Akon Receives $6B Grant To Begin Construction On Akon City
After a DNA test confirmed Future was indeed the father of Eliza Seraphin‘s daughter Reign, the platinum-selling rapper has started the process of child support – and his first attempt wasn’t successful.
On June 16, Bossip reported Seraphin’s lawyer had re- jected an initial offer from Fu- ture’s legal team of “voluntarily” paying $1,000 a month and providing health insurance for their now one- year-old child.
Akon has received some major funding to move for- ward with building his cryp- tocurrency-themed city in Sengal. On Tuesday (June 16), the famed singer revealed he received a $6 billion construc- tion grant for Akon City from KE International, a United States-based consulting and engineering firm.
According to a press release from PR Web, Phase 1 of build- ing is expected to be com- pleted by 2023 and will include the construction of roads, a Hamptons Hospital campus, Hamptons Mall, resi- dences, hotels, a police station, school, waste facility and solar power plant.
Phase 2 for Akon City will go from 2024 to 2029, with the city expected to be running ex- clusively on AKOIN cryptocur-

Beyoncé Wrote A Letter To Kentucky's Attorney General Demanding Justice For Breonna Taylor
As per the
proposal,
Seraphin would also have to agree to a gag order and not discuss the case publicly. In an
email response from Seraphin’s lawyer, he called the offer unreasonable.
Beyoncé is demanding jus- tice for Breonna Taylor in a way that's easy to replicate. The singer shared an open let- ter to Kentucky's attorney general, Daniel Cameron, on her website. In the mes- sage, she asked for "swift and decisive action" to be taken on Breonna's behalf — specifi- cally, that charges be brought against the Louisville officers involved in Breonna's death.
"Three months have passed

— and the LMPD's investiga- tions have created more ques- tions than answers," Beyoncé wrote. "Their inci- dent report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries — yet we know she was shot at least eight times. The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor's apartment — but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say that this is untrue."
