Rihanna Sues Her Father for Using ‘Fenty’ Brand Name

Rihanna has sued her father for using her “Fenty” brand name without her permission.  According to court documents, Rihanna’s dad Ronald Fenty is using the trademarked name for his own talent development and entertainment company without her permission and has “misrepresented” the notion that he can “act on her behalf” while booking shows, among other things. The shows include a $15 million tour in Latin America and two concerts at Staples Center in Los Angeles and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for $400,000.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s ‘Hoodie SZN’ Hits No. #1 On Billboard 200

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s sophomore album Hoodie SZN spent two weeks at the number 2 spot behind 21 Savage’s I Am > I Was. Now, the album has risen to the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart this week, giving the rapper-singer his first chart topper.  Previously, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s debut album The Bigger Artist had peaked at number 4 on the chart in September, 2017.  Hoodie SZN sold only 823 traditional copies this week, but accumulated 83 million streams which helped the total convert to 58k units. This makes the album the lowest-selling (pure sales) Number One album in Billboard’s history.
