TooShortThrowback-1354205754

Too short choose 3 months in jail over 3 years of probation… Too Short failed to meet the requirements of his community service agreement… Sounds so simple… Probation must be a pain in the ass for Too Short… So he’s just going to get it all wrapped up with a 90 day bid…

Too Short  was previously arrested in 2009 for suspicion of DUI and other charges while in Las Vegas. In 2010 he was arrested and charged with three counts of misdemeanor battery after getting into a fight at an Idaho nightclub. Last year, he was cited on misdemeanor possession of a loaded handgun in a public place when he brought a loaded gun to a California airport.

How bad is TIDAL doing right now?  I would have to guess that things aren’t going well for the streaming service… They did have a nice introduction though with all of the artist walking across the stage signing on to become what people assumed the most powerfull streaming service to date…

Now comes a 50 million dollar lawsuit… According to TMZ Cash Money is suing Jay Z’s TIDAL for streaming the album, calling it “a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service”…

Here is where it gets good… According to Billboard… TIDAL claims Lil Wayne’s contract with Cash Money is not exclusive and that he signed over the rights to the album to the streaming service. Cash Money states that Wayne does not have the power to license his music to anyone in the lawsuit, quoting his contract.  Cash Money is also claiming damages, saying the release of FWA to “tepid reviews” could impact future efforts to market his music.
