LAWSUITS: Jay Z sues former owners of his music streaming service, Tidal

Rapper Jay Z is suing the former owners of his music streaming service, Tidal, claiming they gave him an exaggerated figure of subscribers ahead of the sale.
According to reports, Jay Z filed paper work against Swedish venture capital company, Verdane claiming Aspiro and the music streaming platform WiMP, which would later become TIDAL, had far fewer than the 503k subscribers the company had claimed they had at the time of the sale.
Jay Z bought Aspiro for $56 million in March 2015. Jay Z is said to be seeking about $15m, according to Norwegian media.

Tidal released a statement saying: “We are excited that one year after Tidal launched, we have surpassed 3 million subscribers globally. The growth in our subscriber numbers has been even more phenomenal than we’ve previously shared.

“It became clear after taking control of Tidal and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners. As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale.

“While we cannot share further comment during active legal proceedings, we’re proud of our success and remain focused on delivering the best experience for artists and fans.”

Tidal’s celebrity backing has helped it rapidly make a mark on the streaming industry. It recently announced it has 3 million subscribers and had delivered 250m streams of Kanye West’s latest album, which launched exclusively on the service in February. Other artistes such as Beyonce, T.I, Lil Wayne, Damian Marley have recently signed up to the service.

69 year old father murders son for being gay

A 69 year old man Shehada Issa has been arrested and charged with the murder of his son, 29 year old Amir Issa on Tuesday. The Los Angeles County prosecutors on Friday alleged that he committed the crime because his son was gay.

The district attorney's office said Shehada had allegedly threatened to kill his son, Amir, in the past because of his sexual orientation.

"The murder was committed because of the victim's sexual orientation and because of the defendant's perception of that status and the victims' association with a person and a group of that status," prosecutors said in a statement.

The son's body was found outside a North Hills house while Issa's wife was found stabbed to death inside the house.

Police said Issa told them that he had come home and found his wife's body in the bathroom. He said he shot his son in self-defense because the young man was threatening him with a knife.

According to Daily News, Detective John Doerbecker said:

"He claimed the son was armed with a knife, and there was no knife to be found there. It was a horrible family tragedy."

Issa is being held without bail pending his arraignment on April 11.

An investigation into who killed Issa's wife is still ongoing.

16yr old boy brutally raped inside school by one of his classmates

A 16-year-old boy was allegedly brutally raped inside Atlanta's B.E.S.T. Academy, according to a report by Fox 5, Atlanta. The B.E.S.T. Academy is a school for gifted young men in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to the 16-year-old victim's parents, who spoke to the media, their son was raped by another male student during the school day. The boy's mum told reporters that that her son was using the bathroom when he was "ambushed" by a predator.

"The child burst into the stall and asked him to perform oral sex on him. My son told him ‘No, I am not gay’ and he was not going to do that. The child then proceeded to hit him in his face, nose and choke him. Then he entered my son and told my son if you tell anyone, I will kill you," the child’s mother said as she sobbed.

"I send him to school to learn and be safe. You expect him to be safe because it is a school. You don't expect nothing like that to happen in the school. Where was security?" the boy's father asked.

Atlanta Police have confirmed the rape occurred but so far no arrests have been made.
