The onetime Digital Playground contract girl now known as Celine Tran, won a suit against Bow Wow for stealing video footage in his “Drank In My Cup” video.
French adult film star Celine Tran (who is largely known under past monikers “Katsumi” and “Katsuni”) sued Columbus, Ohio rapper, actor and television host Bow Wow in mid-2012, and has won. TMZ.com reports that the porn star successfully convinced judges that Bow Wow used unauthorized footage from her dancing in his video.
As Celine Tran, Katsumi appeared in a video for French band Electronic Conspiracy. The footage was illegally re-purposed in Bow’s “Drank In My Cup” video last year, his take on Kirko Bangz’ hit. With Bow Wow not responding to the suit, TMZ reports that a federal judge ordered the 106 & Park host to pay $79,346.07, and cease and desist distributing the April 2012 video.
One expert alleges that a tweet sent from Lil Wayne following his seizure last week may not have been sent from the rapper.
Following reports that Lil Wayne had suffered from multiple seizures late last week, an alleged Tweet made from the rapper led to even more confusion. The Tweet made from the Lil Wayne’s @LilTunechi account read, “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love,” and left many wondering how the hospitalized rapper was able to log on to social media in his condition.
According to Nibletz.com founder Kyle Sandler, the Tweet made by Lil Wayne was not made from his location at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
“@TMZ FYI @LilTunechi tweet did NOT originate from 34.0766385, -118.37954589999998 (the lat/long for Cedars Sinai),” said Sandler from his @startuptechguy account, which boasts close to 100,000 followers.
If Lil Wayne’s Tweet did not originate from the location Sandler listed, it’s likely that a rep for the rapper or someone else may have instead posted to the rapper’s Twitter account.
The Young Money artist was hospitalized on Thursday, March 14th and little about the rapper’s condition has been revealed since.

Tyga‘s Friday night was worse than yours — the rapper was stripped of his white Lamborghini after it was IMPOUNDED by cops … and TMZ got it all on tape.
Law enforcement sources tell us… Tyga was pulled over around 11:00 PM for an unknown traffic violation in Hollywood. But when cops asked him for license and registration, Tyga had NEITHER … no current registration AND the rapper was unlicensed to drive.
We’re told Tyga was not arrested for the violations — but the police issued him a citation and had his primo ride impounded ASAP. He was also given a field sobriety test, as seen in the footage, but was not busted for DUI.
After the ordeal, Tyga vented his frustration on Twitter, saying, “#F*** LAPD.”
Word to the wise … if you wanna drive a car … invest in a license.
Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill argues with his probation officer and says he fears being shot in his hometown.
Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill may have violated terms of his probation, according to his probation officer, Treas Underwood and Assistant District Attorney Noel A. DeSantis. In a hearing on Friday (March 16), Underwood and DeSantis explained that Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, cannot leave the state of Pennsylvania without providing a detailed agenda about his travel destinations.
In a court dispute, Underwood reportedly explained that Mill often leaves without providing this information. He also often leaves without calling, according to Underwood. “The problem is that I don’t know,” Mill declared about his travel plans. “It changes every day.” Beyond this, Mill clarified that he is not in charge of his own travel itinerary and that his attorney has been asked to inform Underwood of the specifics of his travels. Underwood responded, “But you’re supposed to call me.”
Mill also shared that he has a fear of being in Philadelphia, adding that he prefers to travel for his own safety.
“My best thing is to stay traveling,” Meek disclosed in the two-hour hearing. “Every time I come back to Philadelphia, someone tries to shoot me or get me back in trouble.” His fear of being shot could possibly be related to a recent shooting incident involving Maybach Music Group’s boss, Rick Ross.
Mill also feels he needs a new probation officer. The Maybach Music Group emcee explained that he and Underwood have a history, knowing one another since they were younger in North Philly. He also feels Underwood is creating problems in his life, saying Underwood has made him wait in public areas where fans and other probation officers ask for autographs and demo tape reviews, according toPhilly.com. However, Judge Genece E. Brinkley did not grant a separation between Mill and Underwood. “That’s not going to happen,” the judge replied. “You folks are just going to have to work it out.”
Mill is on a five year probation stint after a 2008 drug and gun conviction. He served eight months in prison and began this probation sentence in 2009.
Rapper Tone Loc collapsed on stage during his concert in Des Moines, Iowa on Mar. 16. He apparently suffered a seizure, and his condition was critical enough that he was forced to cut the show early.
Three reporters for the Des Moines Register who were on the scene stated that Tone finished a song and then suddenly collapsed to the ground. After being attended to by multiple people for about five minutes, security asked fans to leave and the show was completely shut down.
Tone Loc, who is best known for his hits “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing,” reportedly suffered a seizure, though there’s no indication that the episode resulted in a trip to the hospital, and his condition has not been updated.
This is not a first time occurrence for Tone — not by a long shot. In 2009, he was rushed to a hospital in Florida after collapsing on stage. He collapsed again in Atlanta in 2011 and was taken to the hospital. Then in 2012, he collapsed on stage from what his manager said was heat exhaustion, and he also suffered a seizure while watching a comedy show.
So Tone obviously has a history with seizures, and at this point performing on stage doesn’t seem like the smartest thing for his health.
Tone Loc’s collapse and alleged seizure come just two days after fellow rapper Lil Wayne was hospitalized and in critical condition after suffering his own seizure. Wayne’s episode was so serious that many believed he would not survive. And then there’s Rick Ross, who suffered his third seizure in October 2012, causing him to cancel a concert in Guyana.
It seems that these scary, possibly fatal episodes are becoming a trend in the hip-hop world. We can only hope that whatever’s causing them is pinpointed and straightened out. These guys are too young and too talented.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!
We CANNOT believe that we’re still talking about the W.i.P nightclub brawl between Chris Brown and Drake!
Yet, here we are, almost a year later, and there is STILL all kinds ofdrama
surrounding the incident, which left many innocent bystanders injured…including the subject of this particular story, Tony Parker!
As we’ve reported, the San Antonio Spurs player was there when the bottles began being thrown, and is suing the NYC club for $20 million because of a glass shard seriously damaging his cornea, all on the grounds that the owners knew of the singers’ beef, and should not have allowed them in in the first place!
Of course, W.i.P. has since countered that there is no way they could have predicted such a disastrous end to the evening, and now, are going so far as to say that if Parker wins the lawsuit, he should be compensated by Breezy and Drizzy instead of them!
According to new legal documents filed last week in New York, it’s them who “contributed to, instigated, participated and/or engaged” in the brawl, and has requested that any damages awarded to the basketball playercome from Chris and Drake!
Well, we can certainly see their side here!
But as the case is still pending, we guess we’ll have to wait and see if the judge agrees!
Leave comments tell me what you think, Who should pay for Parker’s damages??

Lil Wayne’s hospital room has had a steady stream of visitors since he was hospitalized earlier in the week, according to reports.
Drake, Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers and others have visited the rap star after he was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A.
Drake ignored requests for comments by paps as he walked into the hospital last night, according to a report by TMZ. Paul also went in last night with a female companion.
The circumstances surrounding Wayne status remain mysterious.
A TMZ report claims he was in critical condition after allegedly binging on “Sizzurp.” Representatives for YMCMB and even friends like T.I. have refuted the notion, including the reports the star was in a coma.
Despite the conflicting reports, TMZ maintains that Wayne’s condition was “dire” and “critical,” where he had to have his stomach pumped three times to save his life.
French Montana’s manager sues him for at least $50,000.
French Montana is being sued by his current manager for allegedly making lucrative concert deals behind her back.
TMZ reports that Debra Antney, who is Waka Flocka Flame’s mother and runs Atlanta-based management company Mizay Entertainment, claims that she and French entered into an exclusive management contract with French in November 2010.
In the lawsuit, Antney claims French secured several concert appearances without her knowledge or consent, cutting her out of her 20% management fee.
Antney is suing for unspecified damage, totaling at least $50,000.
Antney used to manage Nicki Minaj. In 2010, Minaj fired Antney.
UPDATE: Birdman tweets that Lil Wayne will be released from the hospital soon.
Moments after TMZ.com reported news of a life-threatening Lil Wayne seizure, friends, family and associates close to the rapper have refuted some of the reports.
Birdman, Cash Money Records’ CEO and Wayne’s onetime legal guardian, claimed that superstar is “feelin much betta” and will be released from the hospital soon.
My son is in good spirit..feelin much betta…be home soon.YMCMB
Mack Maine, who is Wayne’s President at Young Money Records, claimed that early reports are exaggerated. Mack, also an artist, said that specifically the reports of a coma and assisted-breathing are “false.”
We will be releasing an official statement shortly but dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe…that’s false!!
Minutes later, Mack Maine tweeted “#FUCKTMZ,” directed at the source of the story.
(March 15)
UPDATE: In the early East Coast hours of March 16, Birdman updated on Lil Wayne’s recovery status. The co-founder of Cash Money Records claimed that Weezy is “feelin good” and will be “home soon.” The former legal guardian of the longtime label star referred to Wayne, as he has in much of the last 15 years, as his son.
My son is feelin Good.will be home real soon.YMCMB
UPDATE: Lil Wayne’s Twitter account indicates that the rapper is recovering quickly.
In breaking news, for the second time this week, Lil Wayne was rushed to the hospital after suffering seizures. The Cash Money Records superstar is reportedly in critical condition at the Los Angeles, California Cedar-Sinai Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit, according to TMZ.com. In an updated report, the site claims Wayne is being prepared for last rights, as his family is currently traveling.
TMZ gathered reports that a “high amount of codeine” was discovered in Lil Wayne’s system, requiring his stomach to be flushed multiple times. Reports add that Wayne is presently in a coma, and at times, shaking uncontrollably, and “breathing through tubes.”
TMZ also has exclusive photographs of the entourage of vehicles outside Cedar-Sinai.
Reports earlier this week indicated that Lil Wayne, who is currently 30 years old, was suffering from dehydration, causing him to suffer seizure-like symptoms.
UPDATE: Just over an hour after the original report from TMZ.com broke, Lil Wayne revealed that he’s recovering and “good.” The rapper took to Twitter for his first tweet in days to refute reports that his life was in danger.
I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.
Here comes the cavalry. After Mack Maine summed his opinion of the news coverage of Lil Wayne’s hospitalization with a simple “#F*ckTMZ” tweet, T.I. let the Twitter chopper go on the ubiquitous news site.
Just holla’d @my Lil bruh Tunechi…& he skraight! TMZ some fuck-niggaz for reporting that hoe-ass-shit!!! That man daughter is like mines.
The rapper followed the tweet with a few subsequent tweets that were a bit more cryptic, hinting at possible violence:
Earlier, TMZ.com reported that Lil Wayne not only had suffered a second seizure in three days, but was on life support and at one point had his last rites being read to him while family sobbed.
TMZ later removed this detail in their report without giving an official statement as to the reason.
Numerous people close to Lil Wayne, including Birdman have denied TMZ’s reports.
TMZ has not removed any other part of their report and even implicitly addressed questions of their veracity.
Two minutes after Lil Wayne tweetedto fans that he was fine, TMZ sent this update of their report at 6:30 PT/9:30 EST:
Wayne is sleeping right now … which is odd, because he just tweeted saying he’s OK and thanking people for the prayers and love. ‘
TMZ’s last update was that Lil Wayne was still in the ICU but was stabilizing.
TMZ has not responded to T.I.’s tweets.
In what is a conflict that has been brewing for several years, Gucci Mane has officially dropped Waka Flocka from his Brick Squad 1017 imprint.
While two have been on the same label for several years, Gucci Tweeted the news earlier today (March 15) calling Waka a “disloyal lil ni**a.”
Despite what Gucci proclaimed via Twitter, Waka Flocka retorted in Tweets of his own telling Gucci Mane to “SUCK A D*CK.”
At the time of print AllHipHop.com has word that Waka Flocka is in Austin, TX, at SXSW as his associate Frenchie Tweeted that the two were at the Bat Bar on 218 E. 6th St. in Austin, TX. He also has a showcase tomorrow at SXSW.
Last night Gucci Mane performed at PlayHouse, performing several songs from his catalog, as he was in LA for his movie release of “Spring Breakers.”
In addition, last night Gucci was seen with Keyshia Ka’oir arriving at the Spring Breakers Premiere at Arclight in Hollywood http://youtu.be/s0eJEpzCMpw?a
Gucci also has a mixtape that was released today called, “Trapback 2″ hosted by @Djholiday that will also have an accompanying tour.
While AllHipHop.com has yet to receive an official statement from either party, we will continue to bring you updated news regarding this quickly developing story.
5:16 PM PT — Wayne’s mother is currently on a plane flying to Los Angeles — and we’re told all major decisions about Wayne’s health (including the decision to discontinue life support) will not be made until she arrives.
Lil Wayne is in ICU in critical condition after suffering yet another seizure, and we’re told it doesn’t look good … TMZ has learned.
We broke the story … the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures. He was released Wednesday but just hours later one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious.
Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, but this time he did not stabilize. He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.
We’re told Wayne is currently “unstable,” and has been placed in an induced coma. He is breathing through tubes.
We’re told several people are at Wayne’s bedside crying, and a number of rap artists and family members are on the way. Sources say the scene is violent as Wayne shakes uncontrollably.
Sources say there’s evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.
We’re told Wanye’s stomach was pumped 3 times to flush the drugs from his system.
Lil Wayne was hospitalized this week in L.A. following what appeared to be multiple seizures … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the rapper tell us, Wayne suffered the seizures Tuesday night after shooting a music video in L.A. and was subsequently taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital. Weezy was released several hours later, early Wednesday morning. We’re told he’s doing much better now.
It’s not the rapper’s first encounter with seizures either — TMZ broke the story … Wayne suffered two seizures on board separate airplanes last October.
Lil Wayne later acknowledged he’d been prescribed seizure medication by his doc.
Weezy’s rep declined to comment.
