Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s body was stuck in bureaucratic red tape in France, leaving funeral plans for him temporarily on hold, according to his mom.
Bourdain’s family was waiting for the French govern- ment to allow the TV chef’s body to be flown back to the U.S. for burial, after he hanged himself in his French hotel room Friday.

Pusha T Says Beef With Drake Is Over
DJ Khaled is looking to pro- tect his son’s name and legacy as he’s filed a lawsuit against a company attempting to trade- mark the one-year-old’s name. The lawsuit was filed Friday (June 8) against Curtis Bor- denave and his company Busi- ness Consulting.

In a new interview with Van- ity Fair, Pusha T spoke on his beef with Drizzy and what life after the war looks like.
While the rapper seemed to be gloating about his victory after Drake failed to respond to his single “The Story of Adi- don,” Pusha suggested that he is unsure of what he re- ceived from the record’s suc- cess.
“I don’t know what was lost or what was gained,” he added.
Pusha T has ended his beef with Drake after J. Prince told Drake not to respond. Terrence LeVarr Thornton, aka Pusha-T was chosen by Kanye West in 2015 to take over his role as presi- dent of GOOD Music. Kanye was not happy about the beef either.

Flo Rida Asks Judge To
Famed Jazz Saxphonist John Coltrane’s Lost Album To Be Released 50 Years Later
An attorney for Flo Rida asked a judge to dismiss a child support case against the Carol City rapper on Monday (June 4). But Judge Shira Atzmon reportedly shut down that request.
According to Bossip, Flo Rida’s lawyer, Howard Felcher, tried to use a techni- cality to get his client out of the $8,000 a month he must pay Alexis Adams, the mother of Flo Rida’s disabled son Zohar.
Felcher argued that because she sued him in New York and was a resident of Atlanta at the time, the case should be tossed out.
Judge Atzmon’s decision came after a “heated” debate in the courtroom.
One of Adams’ attorneys, Jack Giordano, criticized Flo Rida for fighting with Adams over “chump change” and re- minded the court Flo Rida had called the toddler a “devil child.”
