Producer Sues Juice WRLD’s Estate Over Claims The Late Rapper Stole Parts Of His Song
After Juice WRLD’s estate released a special anniversary edition of the late rapper’s debut album, one producer came forward with claims against the project.
On Friday, Juice WRLD’s estate honored his memory by re-releasing Goodbye & Good Riddance, UpRoxx reported. The anniversary edition included a new track “734” and an updated version of “Lucid Dreams” with Lil Uzi Vert.
But a music producer by the name of Ghost Loft responded to the album with a lawsuit. The producer claims Juice WRLD’s 2018 song “Scared Of Love” includes 16 bars that were directly stolen from Loft’s 2013 song “So High.” He notes that Juice WRLD and producer Mitch Mula are the only names credited on “Scared Of Love” despite the copied lyrics.
He also claims Mitch Mula admitted to sampling “So High,” but failed to include him on the credits. Now Ghost Loft is suing Juice WRLD’s estate, Mitch Mula, and the late’s rapper’s record label for the accused snub, NME reports. Lost is seeking compensation for damages, a writing credit, and an injunction that stops the estate from making money off “Scared Of Love.”
Juice WRLD (real name Jarad Anthony Higgins) died of a drug overdose in December 2019 at the age of 21. His passing came nine months after the release of his second album, Death Race For Love. His third album, Legends Never Die, was posthumously released seven months later in July 2020.
This is the second infringement lawsuit Juice WRLD’s estate has faced. In October 2019, punk rock band Yellowcard sued the late rapper over claims he plagiarized parts of their 2006 song, “Holly Wood Died.”
Following his death two months later, the band dropped the suit in July 2020 saying they “really were uncomfortable about pursuing this action against Juice WRLD’s grieving mother as the representative of his Estate,” Billboard reported.
Black Hair Negligence in Hollywood Gets Called Out by Black Actors
In Hollywood, Black actors want and need to look their best to portray the roles they are booked for, but the talent can find themselves in frustrating positions.
Black actors discussed their experiences of racism with The Guardian, including being told there was no budget to cut their type of hair. Now, writer Priya Elan explained, Hollywood figures want increased diversity in hair and makeup departments on sets.
Camille Friend is a top stylist who has worked on Black Panther, Tenet and Captain Marvel said that in 2021, hairstylists or makeup artists without knowledge of all hair textures and all colors of skin tone should not be working on set.
“There must be better education for all hairstylists and makeup artists,” Friend told The Guardian.
Friend is not alone in thought. A virtual discussion entitled ‘HAIR AND MAKEUP EQUITY: Changing The Industry Standard’ was held on May 11, co-sponsored by the Producers Guild of America, The SAG/AFTRA Foundation and Management 360. Systemic issues relating to “proficient hair and makeup, especially for Black artists and how we can forge the path to equity,” were discussed, according to the event description.
The Hollywood Reporter said that after moderator DeVon Franklin watched the video testimonials in which Black actors shared their experiences, he fought back tears. Lamorne Morris was among those who shared experiences.

“I would have to go to the barbershop at 4/4:30 a.m. before set to get my haircut. When I would get to set, I would see everyone else in the hair and makeup trailer getting their haircut. When I asked why I couldn’t get my haircut at work, it was because—this is what they told me—they didn’t have the budget for my hair,” Morris said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
This isn’t the first time the topic has surfaced. In late April, Allure published a story by Baze Mpinja, a former beauty editor at Glamour. She explained that she was often invited to press events at salons where complimentary blowouts and makeup application appointments were offered. She wrote that stylists and makeup artists projected total confidence. After leaving with embarrassing results, she began to decline the offers.
Mpinja also mentioned that when the hashtag #ActingWhileBlack was trending in 2019, once-hidden stories came pouring out, including the reason why Halle Berry admitted that she opted for her famous pixie cut. Mpinja said it was result of experiences she had with industry stylists, not because it was chic.
“And talented women are still pushing for change. Last summer, Aisha Dee, a star of The Bold Type, wrote on Instagram that ‘it took three seasons to get someone in the hair department who knew how to work with textured hair,'” Mpinja added..
CultureCon to Empower 10,000 Creatives of Color With Virtual Experience
After a one-year hiatus, one of New York City’s most highly anticipated events for multicultural creatives is back, but this time on a global virtual stage.
Since its launch in 2017, CultureCon has evolved into the fastest-growing conference for millennial creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals of color. Each year the summit convenes Hollywood stars, business leaders, influencers, and major brands in a one-day experiential annual affair that exudes cookout vibes, inspiration, and Black excellence. It’s the ultimate homecoming for Black and brown creatives on the East Coast.

After gathering 2,000 attendees in 2019 and featuring headliners like Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King, the architects of CultureCon planned to expand into Atlanta with an event scheduled for May 2020. However, the COVID-19 crisis forced The Creative Collective NYC (The CCNYC) – the agency that powers CultureCon along with other events for creatives of color on a monthly basis — to cancel all of their in-person events.
“I was the last to the party,” says Imani Ellis, the founder of CultureCon and The CCNYC, admitting that she was initially hesitant to cancel events at the onset of the pandemic. “CultureCon New York had been announced. CultureCon Atlanta had been announced. We were so excited because we were almost sold out for CultureCon Atlanta,” she told BLACK ENTERPRISE.
However, after the Tokyo Summer Olympics and Democratic National Convention were canceled, Ellis knew she had to pull the plug. “Once I started realizing that politics and sports were canceled, I think that was kind of like a signal that we probably needed to reschedule.”
Pivoting in the Pandemic

Nonetheless, the pandemic pushed Ellis and her team of 15 to develop new ways to cultivate their community of Black and brown creatives. Instead of producing a virtual version of CultureCon in 2020, The CCNYC launched the Creative Curriculum, a series of online masterclasses that focus on entrepreneurship, creative innovation, professional and personal development, and financial literacy.
“We learned how to pivot. We learned how to adapt,” says Eric Jones Jr., the talent lead for The CCNYC and CultureCon. Faced with an unprecedented crisis, the event-based brand shifted into a virtual space, while maintaining “the quality and the content at such a high level,” he said. “It was an amazing test to learn what we’re capable of, and [prove] that we can still deliver for our audiences.”
Canceling CultureCon last year also gave The CCNYC the opportunity to reimagine the conference as a digital destination in 2021.
“We wanted to take 2020 off,” says Ellis, “[to] pivot and be very intentional because we know that we’re driven by community. We can’t just put the community on a zoom and be like ‘okay, there you go.’ It’s got to be intentional.”

In March, The CCNYC announced CultureCon At Home, a virtual, interactive conference from June 7-13. The weeklong experience will be hosted by rapper Saweetie and feature conversations with high-profile figures like Michael B. Jordan, Chloe and Halle Bailey, and Netflix Chief Marketing Officer Bozoma Saint John. It will also include break-out rooms, mentorship office hours, skill-building workshops, and panel discussions on topics like social media, Black Lives Matter, and the intersectionality of race and the queer experience. In addition, a number of brands will sponsor giveaways and activations like Square, which will host a session with lifestyle mogul Ayesha Curry, and SHOWTIME, which will present a fireside chat between actress Regina Hall of Black Monday and Girls Trip and Ziwe, the executive producer and star of her own eponymous variety series.
However, in order to maintain a sense of community, CultureCon At Home will give attendees opportunities to connect in real-time through live chats and shop at an online marketplace featuring minority-owned small businesses. The conference will also include a digital scavenger hunt and a 3D sculpture garden showcasing art by Hank Willis Thomas that will live on a virtual campus built in partnership with Jam3 and Beyond 8. Content production was led by 19th and Park.

“I think the most important part is the same part that’s important in real life, which is the connections,” says Ellis. “We’re being super intentional so that you can do one-on-one chats with 10,000 plus creatives, or you can do small groups with the group chat.” She added, “there’s going to be live chats in all of the conversations, so you feel like you’re in the room.”
Unlike traditional conferences, Ellis says CultureCon At Home will provide attendees with a platform to find a potential business partner and even a boo with the dating message board.
“One of our taglines is, ‘you’re not just building a business, you’re building an entire life,’” she says. “A lot of these conferences, it’s either you’re just networking and leading with your title, or it’s just a dance party. But CultureCon is a place where you can be your full selves.”

For the first time ever, the CultureCon experience will be accessible to over 10,000 creatives of color around the world and completely free of charge, thanks to Square, which covered 100% of the tickets. According to Michael Oloyede, the digital strategy lead at TheCCnyc and CultureCon, the anticipation for the virtual event is growing.
“I think people are really interested to see how we’re going to create this space digitally,” he tells BE. “I think we’ve gained a lot of trust…our community really knows that we show up for them.”

The ultimate goal of CultureCon At Home is to recreate the feeling of community, inspiration, and purpose that initiated inside of Ellis’ living room during the early days of The CCNYC. The organization was birthed in 2016 inside of her one-bedroom Harlem apartment after she invited a few friends over for tacos to share ideas in a safe space. The gatherings quickly expanded into monthly meet-ups with groups of 10 to 50 people and eventually outgrew her apartment.
“Nothing quite feels like CultureCon,” says Ellis. “Michael, Eric, and I were in the living room when it was super small, and so what we’re trying to do is scale intimacy, make it still feel like you’re seen even if there’s 10,000 people in the room.”
That sense of community and belonging is the driving force behind The CCNYC’s mission to create brave spaces for millennials of color.
“I think the living room is always our North Star,” said Oloyede. “As Black people, we should always walk into a room and feel comfortable. It should feel like we’re in a living room, it should feel like we own the space, and we belong in the space — and CultureCon is that.”
Ellis agrees, stating that at the heart of CultureCon is the community that it serves.
“We’re nothing without the community. I think that is the secret sauce,” she said. “Our community is the engine.”

American Airlines and Southwest Postpone Alcohol Sales Due to Increase in Unruly Passengers
Amid an uptick in unruly passengers mid-flight, both American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have decided to discontinue the sale of alcoholic beverages in the main cabin.
On Saturday, American Airlines joined Southwest in suspending alcohol service on flights following a recent attack of a Southwest flight attendant who was left bloodied and injured, CNN Business reports.
“Flight attendants are on the front lines every day not only ensuring our customers’ safety, but are also calming fears, answering questions, and enforcing policies like federally-required face masks,” American Airlines managing director of flight Brady Byrnes, said in a memo.
“Over the past week we’ve seen some of these stressors create deeply disturbing situations on board aircraft,” the memo said. “Let me be clear: American Airlines will not tolerate assault or mistreatment of our crews.”
Alcohol service was originally suspended in March 2020 to minimize personal contact between the staff and passengers. It was initially slated to resume on the airline’s main cabin on June 1 but will now remain suspended until Sept. 13 on American Airlines.
“While we appreciate that customers and crewmembers are eager to return to “normal,” we will move cautiously and deliberately when restoring pre-COVID practices,” Byrnes said in the memo. “We also recognize that alcohol can contribute to atypical behavior from customers onboard and we owe it to our crew not to potentially exacerbate what can already be a new and stressful situation for our customers,” Byrnes said.
Meanwhile, Southwest was set to resume alcohol service in June, but it is now pushing it back until at least the end of July, Slate reports. It released a statement noting the “recent uptick industrywide of incidents in-flight involving disruptive passengers.”
“We realize this decision will be disappointing for some customers, but we feel it to be the right decision now in the interest of safety and comfort of all onboard,” they added.
Its decisions come after a recent viral video showed a woman punching a flight attendant on a Southwest flight from Sacramento to San Diego. The victim’s two front teeth were knocked out and the passenger was arrested and charged with battery and banned from the airline for life, NBC News reports.
‘Black Is Beautiful’ Beer Brewer Raises Money for Social Justice Causes
One beer brewer found a creative way to get involved with the social justice movement.
After Marcus Baskerville heard about the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor on the radio, he wanted to make a statement as a Black brewer. He created a beer called Black is Beautiful. Then, he shared the recipe with brewers nationwide who could financially support social justice causes through selling it.
“It’s a call to breweries within the United States to participate in a collaborative effort. They would brew a stout, [then] release 100% of those proceeds to local organizations, charities, foundations that support equality, inclusion and social justice reform,” Baskerville told NPR.

In addition to nearly 1,200 U.S. breweries making Black is Beautiful, 22 different countries joined the cause, according to NPR. It also reported that Baskerville is one of only a handful of Black brewers among nearly 9,000 U.S. breweries, but it has not stopped him from finding support to address social justice through the craft beer industry.
“Even in the state of Texas with 380-plus breweries, I think there’s two Black brewers, I’m the only Black owner,” Baskerville told NPR.
According to Black Is Beautiful’s website, Weathered Souls Brewing Company is an independent San Antonio, TX-based craft beer brewery.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap that’s been around for ages and provide a platform to show that the brewing community is an inclusive place for everyone of any color. We are asking for all breweries and brewers far and wide to raise a glass with us in unison and participate in this collaboration,” the website said.

FOX Business reported that Black Is Beautiful beer was available in roughly 300 Walmart stores nationwide through March of this year. Additionally, it will also be in Texas-based stores year-round.
“It is an amazing opportunity to get ‘Black is Beautiful’ out to storefronts across the nation,” Baskerville told FOX BUSINESS. “You look at just what type of small brewery we are…we didn’t have distribution means to pursue outside of our local market.”
Transgender Woman Wants to Pursue an Olympic Dream
CeCe Telfer is a transgender athlete who aspires to pursue an Olympic dream of qualifying for the U.S. trials, then race in the 400-meter hurdles. Telfer must run the race in 56.5 seconds; her best time has been 57.5 seconds.
The New York Times profiled Telfer, who has received death threats on social media, once slept in her car, skipped meals and struggled to find a supportive training coach on the journey of pursuing her dream.
The determined 26-year-old has already started to make historic moves. Two years ago, she became the first openly transgender woman to win an NCAA title when she was fifth-year senior at Division II Franklin Pierce University, located in Rindge, New Hampshire.
Olympic historians say that no athletes at the Winter or Summer Games have publicly identified themselves as transgender when competing. Telfer told The Times that making Tokyo is “important for me to do it for my people— whether it be women, Black people, transgender people, L.G.B.T.Q. people—anybody who is scrutinized and oppressed.”
Telfer’s website revealed that the sprinter was born in Jamaica but raised in Canada.
“I started running track at a really young age, it was cultural and all Jamaicans have to do it. It’s in my blood. Track has always been apart of my life. I consider myself a well-rounded athlete. I cross-train with other sports, like volleyball, cheerleading, gymnastics, and tennis, to keep my head in the game,” Telfer said on the website.
Telfer has some supporters. Nicolette Zeigler is organizing a fundraiser for Telfer, who must travel to mostly self- financed track meets, since there is no sponsorship lined up yet. Telfer trains vigorously and works at a nursing home.
“Now I have an even bigger stage in my sight, Tokyo 2021. Please help me on my journey to the Olympics and to be the first Black female, in transition to compete at the Olympics,” the GoFundMe message reads. “The world is changing and it starts with me.”

Donald Trump Tells People He Will Be Reinstated As President In August (He Won’t Be)
Former President and habitual liar Donald Trump has reportedly been telling friends and associates that he’ll be reinstated as president in August.
According to a tweet from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Trump is telling those around him that he expects to be reinstated as president by August.
Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn’t how it works but simply sharing the information). https://t.co/kaXSXKnpF0
According to Haberman, Trump’s declaration came after his former national security adviser Michael Flynn expressed support for a coup attempt in the U.S.
Flynn was asked at a QAnon conference why can’t there be a coup attempt similar to what’s happened in Myanmar. “No reason, I mean, it should happen,” Flynn responded. Flynn later said he was misquoted, despite video footage of his response to the question.
A coup attempt has been widely discussed among Republicans who believe the election was stolen from Trump and the Republican party. At the same time Republicans are largely ignoring or dismissing the former president’s first coup attempt, the Capital Storm that took place in January.
Trump’s supporters may believe he’s gearing up for a second run at the White House, but others are working to put Trump and many in his organization behind bars. New York Attorney General’s Cy Vance and Letitia James have joined forces in their investigations into Trump’s organization and his tax returns, which has now turned into a criminal investigation.
For those who believe he will be reinstated, if he is, it will take at least one unprecedented action for that to happen considering there is no Constitutional or legal remedy to overturn the results of an election once the Electoral College votes have been certified by Congress.
It appears Trump and his supporters are banking on the results of several partisan election audits. However at least one of those audits has already come under intense scrutiny. Arizona’s Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, a group of mostly Republicans, has urged Arizona Senate President Karen Fann to end the audit.
“We implore you to recognize the obvious truth: your ‘auditors’ are in way over their heads,” the board wrote in a letter to Fann according to Yahoo News. “America should recognize the same.”
AKA Sorority Helps Black Women Access Free Breast Cancer Screenings
Amid the pandemic, scheduling medical appointments for issues such as breast cancer screenings may have slipped through the cracks for some women. KCURreported that the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc’s Mammography Mobile Unit gave women a hand recently by stopping in Kansas City to provide free 3-D mammograms and breast cancer screenings.
Rhonda Harris—who is a member of the service-oriented Black sorority—said that the goal is to have “at least 100,000 women (by 2022) screened for breast cancer, and especially in the African American community because so many times we just ignore what we really need to do until it’s too late,” according to KCUR.
Additionally, Tanesha Thompson, the Midwestern region representative for AKA’s service projects, remarked that the organization is very into women’s health and wellness. According to the AKA’s website, program initiatives include breast cancer awareness and prevention. It is one of the program targets and focuses on early detection through mammograms to improve the survival rate of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Alpha Kappa Alpha will own a digital AKA Mobile Breast Cancer Screening Unit that will travel to various locations and provide mammogram screening. Chapters will partner with local clinics, rural health centers, and hospitals to emphasize the need for African-American women to receive regular mammograms,” the website stated.

A 2019 press release provided more details about how the AKA Sorority’s President Glenda Glover was joined by hundreds of sorority members in Houston to unveil a new mobile screening unit. Since that time, women in underserved communities have been served through it. The sorority’s service to provide screenings can also be critical for uninsured women.
The American Cancer Society reminds women that finding breast cancer early and getting state-of-the-art cancer treatment are the most important strategies to prevent deaths from breast cancer. Online details stated that the goal of screening tests for breast cancer is to find it before it causes symptoms, such as a lump that can be felt.
“Breast cancers found during screening exams are more likely to be smaller and still confined to the breast. The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are some of the most important factors in predicting the prognosis (outlook) of a woman with this disease,” The American Cancer Society reported.
