The family of Emmett Till is going after Lil Wayne and his money…..literally.  As previously reported the family of the late teenager was insulted by Weezy’s lyrics in the unreleased remix of Future’s “Karate Chop,” were Wayne rapped, “”beat the p—y up like Emmett Till.” They weren’t happy and shortly after the song hit the airwaves a family rep released a statement on the matter and basically let Lil Wayne know he had crossed the line.  The also made a complete with the Epic about the offensive lyrics and the label pull the song.

That being said the family wasn’t the only ones who feel that Wayne was outta line, especially given the horrific way young Emmett was murdered.  At the end of the day, the Till family wanted a public apology from Lil Wayne and they feel they didn’t get one.  So, now it’s on. Last week a rep for the family issued official statement concerning the matter and this is how that went down.

Finally, The O'Jays are suing the makers of Crown Royal to the tune of $1 million dollars for the unauthorized use of their 73’ hit "For the Love of Money."  According to reports, Eddie Levert, Sr. and Walter Williams, Sr. filed suit, claiming the company's new commercial featuring NBA legend Dr. J is "humiliating" and "demeaning."

Me personally, I thought it was kinda cool, but obviously The O’Jays didn’t.  By the way, the song actually used in the commercial is a track called “Reign On” performed by Big K.R.I.T., however the track samples the O’Jays classic.
