Woman Suing Keyshia Cole
3 Years After Fight Over Birdman
Remember when Keyshia Cole was dating Birdman back in 2014 when she and an- other woman were in the rap mogul’s Los Angeles penthouse, when a fight ensured and it was drama galore?
Well that woman, named Sabrina Mercadel, is suing Cole for alleged injuries she suffered from the melee, ac- cording to reports. Mercadel is suing the “You” singer for a cool $4 million. According to Mercadel, Cole attached her in a jealous rage.

It’s been about three years so
it’s unclear what injuries are still present as valid evidence.
Better late than never. Two weeks after dropping his new LP, 4:44, JAY-Z’s album now sits atop the Billboard 200 chart, making it the rapper’s 14th album to do so.
JAY-Z was pretty close to sales predictions. According to Nielsen Music, the project moved 262,000 equivalent album units – with 174,00 coming for traditional album sales – for the week ending July 13.
JAY-Z’s album, which was released on June 30 and has al- ready been certified platinum, would have topped the charts
last week. But Tidal did not re- port their streaming numbers to Nielsen Music for the first seven days. The album was ini- tially a Tidal and Sprint exclu- sive and then offered for free to users on a special website. Partners With Puma

JAY-Z recently announced
his massive 4:44 Tour, which will kick off in the fall. Jigga will be partnering with sneaker and apparel line, Puma for the three month-jaunt and possibly other projects in the future.
The ad for the tour features Puma’s logo alongside logos for Tidal and Sprint.
