Drake's DJ Says Apple Did Not Stop Tidal Stream

By
It's a case of "he said, she said" between Drake, Apple Music and Tidal as sources from the rapper claim Apple Music had nothing to do with Tidal not streaming Drake's set during Lil Wayne's Hurricane Katrina benefit.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Future the Prince says it was Drake's choice not to stream his performance at Lil Weezyana Festival for Tidal. Previous reports claimed Apple Music threatened Tidal with a $20 million lawsuit if they aired the rapper's performance. Prince claims Tidal was aware of the decision, but used it as a marketing ploy to make Apple Music look like the villain between the streaming services.
"The decision to not have Drake participate in the Tidal stream has nothing to do with Apple or Drake's deal," Prince told BuzzFeed News. "Point blank, 100%. I made a business decision. Apple doesn't have the power to stop us from being part of a live stream. The only people that have the power to do that are Cash Money and Universal, and they're our partners. I don't understand.. If you're going to say something about the situation publicly, you should tell the truth. They saw the opportunity to take a situation and spin it in their favor as a publicity stunt."
Prince also stated Apple as a company cannot file a lawsuit about Drake's likeness because they don't have the power to. Drake performed the tracks "Back to Back" and "HYFR" with Lil Wayne at the benefit for children affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Photos Surface of Fugitive El Chapo Drinking & Flying in Plane

By
Mexico is in a state of emergency after kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from prison again, and photos have surfaced of him allegedly drinking a beer and flying in a plane. The photos leaked on a Twitter page allegedly belonging to the crime boss' son, but the photos have yet to be verified. Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil doubts that Guzman's son would leak the photos, telling the San Antonio Express-News, "I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape." The feared kingpin escaped from Altiplanoa, maximum security prison in Mexico, via a mile-long tunnel that many suspect was dug with help from the outside. El Chapo also escaped from prison in 2001 via a laundry cart, and he was found thirteen years later on a Mexican beach resort.
