50 Cent filed a lawsuit against Ross on Wednesday (December 23rd), according to Billboard which published a statement from 50 Cent's attorney Paul LiCalsi that was supplied to them by the rapper's publicist.
"50 Cent's most valuable asset is the name and reputation he has painstakingly built through his Grammy-winning music, acting, and business endeavors," said LiCalsi in the statement. "He chooses his projects carefully for the very purpose of protecting that name and reputation."
LiCalsi goes on to explain the reason for the lawsuit, "Our complaint alleges that Rick Ross has taken these without permission to advertise his own album, and violated 50 Cent's rights in the process, and we believe he should be held liable." Read the full report for more details here.
Standing front and center, Nelson softly adds a mild country twang to the tune. A backing band, replete with Leland Sklar on bass and Mickey Raphael on harmonica, flesh out the tune's original piano-heavy focus into a fuller sound, Rolling Stone Country notes.

The-Dream doesn't deviate too far from each original song's structure, but his voice lends the overall project a sweeter air. Where Cooke's voice had a weightier heft, The-Dream's vocals give each song a lighter feel.
The project is a tribute to his mother, who passed away on Dec. 23, 1992. Posting on Instagram, he shared why he decided to cover Cooke. "My Mother loved a lot of Artist growing up, but the one we shared the most interest in together was Sam Cooke, so Tonight I give him back to her." Stream the album here.

Cole has been sharing episodes every Wednesday leading up to the concert's premiere. Each of the four segments air on HBO, but are also publicly available on Vimeo.
Today (Dec. 23), Cole released the second episode, "Ain't Nothing Like That." Early in the episode, Cole jokes around with his two keyboardists, Irvin Washington and Ron Gilmore, who tease him for stealing the show when he jumps on keys for a live solo acoustic performance. It's a rare personal moment that Cole doesn't often share with the public, and further showcases what life is like for the artist behind the scenes.

The first clip from Kanye's audition for the reality competition show was released yesterday (December 22), and it shows a very nervous Yeezus standing in front of judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban and getting ready to show 'em what he's got!
"My name is Kanye. I'm from the South Side of Chicago. I'm originally a producer," West says. "[I] always wanted to rap, but no one ever believed in me. So I wanted to try some things out." Read more here.
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" has also maintained the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Holiday Airplay charts. She had the following to say about the resurgence of the track:
"It's amazing how that song continues to resonate with every age group and just about everybody. I was just a kid when we recorded 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' and it makes me feel so good knowing it still brings Christmas joy to others."
Markley teamed up with DJ Brennan to record the mashup of the two Christmas classics and to create a video which was produced and edited by Brennan.
She had the following to say, "I'm so glad I got to meet up with DJ to do this Christmas song. I first met DJ on my Just The Beginning tour this summer, and he now lives in the Seattle area. I hope it helps get everyone in the Christmas spirit!" Watch the video here.
Arriving three days before Christmas, the white pony came dressed in a pink harness and bow. Lady Gaga was understandably bowled over. She shared three photos on Instagram of her new best friend, writing in the first post, "Today on my doorstep was delivered a White Angel from heaven. It felt like the old days of the record business, she's such a spiritual girl!"
She promised fans that she would take great care of the animal, who as of yet does not seem to have a name. Another picture shows Gaga riding the pony off into the sun, looking as regal and badass as ever. "I feel like I've known her my whole life," Gaga captioned the post "she wants to show me things." See the photos here.
Awash in sepia and shadows, the camera slowly tracks through an antiquated church before it finds Pusha T in the confessional. "Maybe this dream is trying to tell you something," an unseen priest tells the rapper. "Maybe," Pusha T admits, before the track lets loose.
The video is laden with religious iconography, but everything is cast in a darker light. "N-ggas ain't been to church in a minute/ But it's funny how that TEC make a n-gga get religious," Pusha T raps. The-Dream lends his vocals to the chorus.
Things take a turn straight out of The Exorcist when Pusha T climbs the walls while a priest tries to cast out his demons. Watch the clip here.
