Jay Z and Dame Dash found out some good news this week.
DJ Khaled apparently got too into Usher’s performance at Beyonce’s Formation Tour in Atlanta this week, with The Snapchat King tumbling backward as he
recorded the set from the stage.

Clothing designer Dwayne Walker sued Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, Damon “Dame” Dash, Kareem “Biggs” Burke, Roc-A-Fella Records, and Universal Music Group for breach of contract and
copyright infringement. Walker claimed he created the famous logo for Roc-A- Fella, the record label co- founded by Jay, Dame, and
Biggs in 1995.
The defendants said the
image was actually designed by Roc-A-Fella art director Adrien Vargas

Mississippi Hip-Hop super producer/rapper David Ban- ner has weighed in on a recent judgment awarded to him in a legal dispute with rapper Lil Wayne.
David Banner recently won a default judgment of $164,303.19, over allegations that Lil Wayne’s Young Money record label owed him $138,787 for producing Tha Carter III tracks “La La” and “P##sy Monster.”
Banner’s lawsuit also claimed he was stiffed out of $15,392 for the 2009 track “Streets Is Watchin” off the We Are Young Money compi- lation.
