More than 25 years later, Diddy is still paying a steep price for using an uncleared sample of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” on his Notorious B.I.G. tribute “I’ll Be Missing You.” The hip-hop mogul has revealed he now pays former Police lead singer Sting $5,000 per day in royalties.
Diddy tweeted the number as a correction to a resurfaced 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club in which Sting confirmed he received $2,000 a day from the rapper. “Nope. 5K a day,” Diddy wrote. “Love to my brother @OfficialSting!”
At the time of the interview, Sting told The Breakfast Club that “we’re very good friends now” and added, “It was a beautiful version of that song.”
It didn’t always seem like Sting felt that way. At the 1997 MTV VMAs, he insisted on singing the original chorus instead of Faith Evans’ interpolation paying tribute to Biggie while accompanying...

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has swept the Gold Derby Music Awards, but not in every category. She was upset by Lana Del Rey for Album of the Year. Scroll down for our complete list of winners, and watch our video presentation of the winners above.
More than 5,000 registered Gold Derby users voted in these awards, which honored the best music from the eligibility period of September 2020 through September 2021, the same as the Grammys’ calendar. And they awarded Swift six times out of her seven nominations. She won repeat prizes for Artist of the Year, Record of the Year (“Willow”), Song of the Year (“Willow”), and Best Pop Artist. She also claimed Best Pop Album (“Evermore”) and Best Music Video (“Willow”). That gives her 11 total wins over just two years of the GDMAs.

“Black music is the backbone of the music industry in the U.S. today. It seems to be less affected by variables in the economy than any other forms of music… The major problem is the lack of broad, open acceptance by all segments of society based on feelings that are racist in their nature.”

United States District Judge Consuelo B. Marshall has put a pause on Yellowcard’s pending lawsuit against late rapper Juice Wrld. According to Pitchfork, who obtained court documents relating to the case, Marshall has ordered a stay until a representative for Juice Wrld’s estate is appointed.
Yellowcard originally filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit in October against Juice Wrld, claiming the rapper’s hit “Lucid Dreams” copied their 2006 song “Holly Wood Died.” Along with Juice Wrld (real name Jarad A. Higgins), the suit named as co-defendants “Lucid Dreams” co-writer Taz...

Yellowcard has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Juice Wrld, claiming the rapper’s hit “Lucid Dreams” copies their 2006 song “Holly Wood Died.”
The suit alleges that Juice Wrld and his producers knowingly copied “Holly Wood Died,” and that “Lucid Dreams” “directly misappropriates quantitative and qualitatively important portions of [‘Holly Wood Died’] in a manner that is easily recognizable to the ordinary observer.” It adds that “Lucid Dreams” is “not only substantially similar to [‘Holly Wood Died’], but in some places virtually identical.”

Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” maintained its hold on the top of the Rolling Stone 100 this week. The track was streamed 23.7 million times.
The Top Ten was controlled mostly by the usual suspects — Lil Nas X, Shawn Mendes and Billie Eilish. The one new entry came from Lil Tecca, whose single “Ransom” continues to stream at an impressive rate. “Ransom” was co-written and co-produced by Nick Mira, who also contributed to Juice Wrld’s breakout hits “Lucid Dreams” and “All Girls Are the Same.” “Ransom” is currently the...

Juice Wrld has a brand — perennially heartbroken — and he’s doubling down on it. Dark and melodramatic, “Robbery” is a clunky metaphor about a woman demanding love from the Chicago rapper. “She told me put my heart in the bag/And nobody gets hurt,” Juice mournfully sings over a sparse and twinkling Nick Mira beat.
The first verse centers on the conflict between his father’s advice on romance, (“One thing my dad told me was ‘Never let your woman know when you’re insecure'”) competing against equally bad advice...
