The Cookout

You beat me to it. Deleted my post when I saw this. Anyway, companies routinely have robbed us in endorsement deals, etc.

This is the exception. There are untold billions of non payments for all kinds of things. Its a shame. They see rappers coming and assume (rightfully so unfortunately) that they don't have the background and have hired the people to make sure they are paid correctly.

The companies don't try to do that to white boys, even if the white boy celeb isn't smart about deals.

I always said if we had a pool of B1 lawyers we could access way more resources cause we could actually get a bag out of those who wrong us. Worthy representation is a pay to play game but its worth it when you win a big settlement. When a B1 lawyer get you a dub you could put a percentage back into the pool to help the next man or woman.

How a rapper just got an $82 million dollar payday- Dr Boyce Watkins

Rapper Flo Rida just sued an energy drink company and won $82 million dollars. This is a big win for the rapper and a sign of the power of endorsement deals...

Of course. As long as the lawyers are very competent, not bought off/blackmailed and B1, then this will work.

Of course they don't. They thought they were dealing with a dumb Black person. So glad he got what he deserved.

One more thing...I am glad this happened. It is the first of many. More of our folks will have the confidence to make these kinds of moves. It shows that some judges are good after all.
