200M for Dr. Dre’s catalog

Dr. Dre doesn’t need an introduction anymore, but more importantly, he doesn’t need money, because his pockets are so deep.

However, regardless of his bank account, the legendary Doctor has sold his music catalog for over $200 million, according to Variety!

Dre ‘s catalog includestwo solo albums, his share of N.W.A. artists’ royalties , his producer’s royalties and the writer’s share of his song catalog.

The offer in question reportedly does not include ownership rights to the Doctor ‘s Aftermath label (and Interscope Records).

Dre is valued at $820 million, and he is close to signing a deal with Shamrock Holdings and Universal Music Group.

According to the report, one of the founders of the legendary band N.W.A. will receive $10 million a year until the $200 million is paid in full!

Just like that, this monstrous piece of work comes a few months after Dre agreed to award $100 million to Nicole Young, his ex-wife, for the settlement of assets.

Recall that last week, Dre stopped Marjorie Taylor Greene from using his music through social networks through his lawyer Peter Paterno.

Eminem turned down $9M for a concert (according to 50 Cent)

Eminem performs during halftime of Super Bowl 56 between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. The Cincinnati Bengals lost, 23-20. Nfl Super Bowl 56 Los Angeles Rams Vs Cincinnati Bengals Feb 13 2022 1791

According to information delivered by 50 Cent via Real 92.3’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood , Eminem turned down a $9 million offer to perform at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

By the way, the show offer in question included the Eminem-50 Cent duo, while eight million would have gone to Slim Shady and the other million to Fifty.

50 Cent would have been a million dollars richer if his longtime bandmate had accepted the generous offer.

The reason the World Cup organization approached the two rappers was because of the huge success during their monster performance at Super Bowl 2022 with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.

WithEm’s rejection, the World Cup turned to the Black Eyed Peas, among others, to complete its panel of artists who performed in Qatar.

It is important to note that 50 Cent does not know exactly why Eminem refused this kind of adventure, but we must admit that the rapper from Detroit does not often go out to perform.

We can also imagine that it was a political decision on the part of Marshall Matters.

Let’s also take the opportunity to mention that 50 Cent and Eminem are developing a series that is the sequel to 8 Mile, the movie that was partly inspired by the life of Eminem.

A powerful weather system is currently hitting California, creating flooding in the Montecito area and causing residents, including Oprah, Harry, Meghan and Ellen DeGeneres, to evacuate.

Authorities in Montecito County, California, where several celebrities live, have ordered residents to evacuate the area as extreme downpours are causing dangerous flash flooding.

Instagram users are actually criticizing Ellen DeGeneres for the unnecessary danger she’s taking for a simple video she posted of an out-of-control river near her home!

“What are you doing here? Are you a meteorologist? Get to higher ground!” one of her Instagram followers said to her, among other things.

In the video posted by the star, Ellen finds herself dangerously close to a flash flood as she explains that she doesn’t have to evacuate because her home is on higher ground and authorities have asked her to stay safe inside her property.

The star also says to take care of Mother Nature, as she gets out of control quickly…

Damar Hamlin is surprising medicine

Damar Hamlin has taken an important step in his rehabilitation, leaving the Cincinnati hospital and heading to another one in Buffalo.

Remember that although he has made rapid progress in the last few hours, there are many steps to take in recovery from cardiac arrest.

Even if he is not out of the woods, his condition has gone from critical to fair or even good, according to the doctors who were in charge of him in Ohio.

Hamlin is beating the odds right now, beating the odds at every milestone he has to reach, while remaining neurologically intact. However, it’s too early to say when Hamlin will be able to return to a normal life.

On top of that, more tests need to be done to find the exact cause of the sudden cardiac arrest.

As of last Friday, Hamlin is no longer sedated and on a ventilator, and he has even started walking again with a little help.

Obviously, the Buffalo Bills were thrilled to have him back “home.”

In short, he’s not with the team, but his thoughts are with his Bills and his teammates are inspired by him every day to move forward to the promised land.
