Grammy-Winning Producer DJ Official Killed During Double Shooting In Los Angeles
Family and friends, includ- ing DJ Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign, are mourning the loss of André Wakefield, a.k.a “DJ Official.” The Grammy award-winning pro- ducer and father to a newborn son, was killed in a double drive-by shooting in South Los Angeles last Friday (June 14).
He was 26.
Wakefield and his friend
were shot while sitting outside of his home. The gunfire star- tled his grandfather who was mowing the lawn at the time. The killer fled the scene in a black SUV.
“All he did was go to work and come home,” Wake- field’s grandfather told NBC Los Angeles of his grandson. “He didn’t belong to [a] gang or nothing like that.”
According to a cousin, Wakefield was at the studio with Nipsey Hussle two days before the 31-year-old rapper was killed. One of his final In- stagram posts was a dedication to Hussle.
DJ Mustard took to Insta- gram with a dedication to Wakefield who belonged to his 10 Summers imprint. “I’m beyond hurt. I’m devastated. I’m sick to my stomach,” he wrote. “I love you lil bro forever @prodbyofficial .... I got your son 4 life this ain’t how it was suppose to go.”

Ty Dolla $ign also shared an emotional Instagram post writing, “How the f**k they gon' take @prodbyofficial ? Who the f**k was mad at my bro? A father, a successful pro- ducer, a solid homie who meant a lot to all of us. U n**gas is some real life jealous a** b**ches out here. We had so much fun on this tour and every time I ran into u it was love and good vibes. LONG LIVE OFFICIAL.”
Wakefield won a Grammy earlier this year and produced for the likes of Cardi B, YG, Rich The Kid, City Girls, Chris Brown and more. He recently produced three tracks on Tyga’s Legacy album.
Police are still investigating the shooting.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. Accused Of Sexual Assault By Blogger Claudia Oshry When She Was 16
Cuba Gooding, Jr. is fac- ing a new allegation of sexual assault.
Blogger Claudia Oshry claimed she was touched inap- propriately by the 51-year-old actor when she was 16 in The Morning Toast podcast last week.
“All I have to say is #MeToo. I feel so weird about it because at the end of the day I don’t know if I’ve ever con- sidered myself a victim of sex- ual assault because I’m not, I would never compare myself to them,” Oshry, 24, said. “But yes when I was in high school —Iwasf——16yearsold— Cuba Gooding, Jr. put his finger up my butt and I felt wild.”
Gooding’s attorney Mark Heller denied the allegation, telling PEOPLE, “Mr. Good-
Cuba Gooding, Jr.; Claudia Oshry
ing told me such an event never happened. He doesn’t know this individual.”
Oshry, who rose to fame from her social media account Girl With No Job, has included her experience in her Dirty Jeans Tour, saying, “And now, it’s just become, like, a part of whoIam.It’sapartofmy story.”
“Now I use it as a shtick in my show on tour. Like, you re- ally want to put a finger up my butt? Without my consent? Fine, but I’m going to use it for all that it’s worth,” she added.
The Oscar-winning actor turned himself into police last week after he was accused of groping a woman in a New York City bar.

Drake ‘Best In The World Pack’ Label Copyright Changed From Cash Money To Frozen Moments
But interestingly enough, the copyright mark on the two new songs, ‘Omerta’ and ‘Money In The Grave’ featur- ing Rick Ross has now been changed to Drake’s imprint, under the umbrella of Repub- lic Records who the Toronto superstar has been signed to since his sophomore album Take Care.
The change is being reflected on services like Apple Music and TIDAL but Spotify is still showing the old “Young Money/Cash Money” mark. We’re assuming the edit will render there soon as their sys- tems update.
Frozen Moments, LLC is a trademark which was ap- proved for publication on Feb- ruary 13th 2019, on the day of the SFG 10-year anniversary
DRAKE
and the day Drake announced
the mixtape was coming to streaming services. It covers “Audio equipment, namely, personal stereos, speakers, speaker housings, amplifiers, stereo tuners, equalizers, sound crossovers, limiters and compressors for audio pro- cessing; Headphones; Ear- phones; Ear buds; Protective covers and cases for cell
phones, computers and portable media players; Sun- glasses.”
When Drake released his The Best In The World Pack to celebrate the epic NBA cham- pionship win by his home team Toronto Raptors, some fans noticed that the label copyright mark on the releases still said “2019 Young Money Enter- tainment/Cash Money Records.”
It was surprising because it was assumed that Drizzy had walked away from his deal or ended his contractual obliga- tions with Lil Wayne and Birdman’s labels, especially after it was reported back in February that Drake may have quietly launched his own label called “Frozen Mo- ments.”
