I don’t remember Nicki having to do brand deal after brand deal after getting off of tour either time lmao that’s how u know labels took all that money
TICKETMASTER’S MASSIVE BRAZIL DEAL HAS BEEN HALTED AND IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Investigators will examine allegations that:
Competitors received different versions of the bidding rules.
A rival’s updated proposal was ignored.
A commercial condition may have been controlled by a competitor’s parent company, an apparent reference to @LiveNation.
@LiveNation already controls concerts at the stadium through 2031. Now @Ticketmaster wants the football tickets, premium seating and fan membership program too.
Who wrote the rules, who ignored the rival bid and who was really controlling this deal?

🚨UPDATE 2: Jay Z v. Buzbee et al NYC:
Antigone Curis and Curis Law have filed their motion asking Judge Dale Ho to dismiss all remaining claims against them in Jay Z’s NYC lawsuit with prejudice.
Curis served as Jane Doe’s local counsel in the underlying lawsuit against Jay Z. She argues that Jay Z’s Third Amended Complaint fails to establish either malicious prosecution or a violation of New York Judiciary Law § 487, which addresses intentional deceit or collusion by attorneys.
On the malicious prosecution claim, Curis argues Jay Z has not pleaded facts showing that she knew or should have known Jane Doe’s allegations were false or that she lacked probable cause to file the lawsuit in October 2024. She says Jay Z instead relies on questions about Doe’s credibility, information uncovered by a news organization after the lawsuit was filed and other post filing issues that do not establish what Curis actually knew when the case was initiated.
Curis also argues Jay Z has not established the “special injury” required for a civil malicious prosecution claim under New York law. She says reputational harm, psychological distress and ordinary financial consequences from defending a lawsuit are insufficient. Curis also argues that Jay Z cannot personally claim alleged damages suffered by Roc Nation.
Curis further emphasizes that she was minimally involved as Jane Doe’s local counsel and says the Third Amended Complaint contains very few allegations specifically concerning her or her firm. She also notes that Jay Z dropped his previous conspiracy claim against the Curis defendants.
As for Jay Z’s new claim under New York Judiciary Law § 487, Curis attacks it on three grounds.
First, she argues Jay Z lacks standing because Curis represented his adversary, Jane Doe, and never had an attorney client relationship with him.
Second, Curis argues § 487 does not apply to alleged attorney misconduct occurring in federal court, pointing out that Jane Doe’s underlying lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York.
Third, she argues Jay Z has not pleaded facts showing that Curis actually intended to deceive anyone. According to Curis, Jay Z’s allegations amount to claims that she “should have known” Doe’s allegations were false based on what an investigation supposedly would have uncovered, rather than facts showing she “did know” they were false when the lawsuit was filed.
Curis sums up that distinction pretty directly, arguing that Jay Z is essentially “pleading negligence while claiming intent.”
Curis and Curis Law are asking Judge Ho to dismiss both remaining claims against them with prejudice. They have also joined and adopted the arguments raised in the Buzbee defendants’ motion to dismiss to the extent those arguments apply to them.

🚨 Moments after Duane Keith “Keefe D” Davis was found guilty of Tupac’s murder, a friend of the family and Digital Underground member best known as Young Mass or MassV said something interesting about possible co-conspirators and/or people he believes should be looked into.
Specifically, people who he said “profited off of Tupac’s death.”
He named a few people and record label: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and Interscope Records… 👀
Does he know that Alex Spiro, one of Jay Z’s attorneys, is currently representing Tupac’s estate?
If he didn’t know before, I’m sure he got a call after.

🚨 UPDATE in Jay Z v. Buzbee et al NYC:
Jane Doe has filed a detailed motion asking Judge Dale Ho to dismiss the claims against her in Jay Z’s NYC lawsuit, arguing the court lacks personal jurisdiction over her and that, even if jurisdiction exists, his defamation and malicious prosecution claims still fail.
Doe, who resides in Alabama, argues that both claims ultimately sound in defamation because Jay Z alleges he was injured by her allegedly false accusations and the resulting damage to his reputation. She argues New York’s long arm statute specifically excludes defamation based claims against an out of state defendant like herself and therefore the court lacks personal jurisdiction over her.
If the judge disagrees, Doe argues the defamation claim should still be dismissed because California law applies. Interestingly, her attorneys point to Jay Z’s own position in his previous California litigation against Tony Buzbee, where they say he argued California law applied and that he suffered the brunt of the alleged harm in California, where he lived at the time.
Doe then argues that California’s fair report privilege provides absolute protection for her statements to NBC concerning allegations contained in her lawsuit. Her attorneys emphasize that NBC repeatedly presented the interview as reporting about a pending lawsuit, displayed portions of the complaint, described the accusations as allegations and included responses from Jay Z and others. They argue the privilege does not require every statement to be a word for word reproduction of the complaint as long as the overall gist or sting of the judicial proceeding is accurately conveyed.
Doe also attacks Jay Z’s malicious prosecution claim on two separate grounds.
First, she argues he has not alleged the “special injury” required under New York law for malicious prosecution arising from a civil lawsuit. Jay Z alleges reputational damage, emotional distress, lost business opportunities, a $20 million loss involving Roc Nation and the denial of a $115 million line of credit to a business in which he owns an interest.
Doe argues those allegations do not meet the heightened special injury requirement. She also argues losses allegedly suffered by Roc Nation or another company cannot simply be treated as Jay Z’s personal injuries because he has an ownership interest in those businesses.
But one of the most interesting parts of the motion concerns how Jane Doe’s original lawsuit against Jay Z actually ended.
Doe argues the dismissal was the result of a negotiated compromise, not simply her unilaterally abandoning the lawsuit.
According to the filing, on February 4, 2025, Tony Buzbee’s outside counsel Marc Kasowitz proposed an agreement to Jay Z’s attorney Alex Spiro under which Jay Z’s side would withdraw its Rule 11 sanctions motion, Jay Z and his attorneys and agents would agree not to harass or otherwise interact with Doe and certain other individuals, and Doe would dismiss her lawsuit with prejudice ten days later.
Doe says Spiro responded “OK” that same day. Jay Z’s Rule 11 motion was subsequently withdrawn and, ten days later, Doe dismissed her lawsuit as contemplated by the agreement.
That matters because Doe argues a malicious prosecution claim requires the previous lawsuit to have terminated in Jay Z’s favor, and under New York law a lawsuit that ends as the result of an agreement, compromise or inducement does not satisfy that requirement.
Doe is therefore asking the court to dismiss the claims against her without prejudice if Judge Ho finds there is no personal jurisdiction. Alternatively, if the court reaches the merits, she wants both claims dismissed with prejudice.
These are Jane Doe’s arguments in her motion. Judge Ho has not ruled on them, and Jay Z will have an opportunity to respond.
