Eminem Sues Meta For Rs 900 Crore Over Alleged Copyright Violation
The lawsuit, filed on May 30, alleges that Meta has been using Eminem's music catalogue-comprising 243 songs-without permission. The complaint claims that the tech giant allowed the "unauthorised storage, reproduction, and exploitation" of these tracks on its platforms.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has accused Meta of enabling users to incorporate his music into videos and other content without securing the necessary licences or offering proper credit.
The rapper is seeking $150,000 in damages per song, arguing that the alleged misuse has led to lost profits and devalued his copyrights. The legal action adds to the growing scrutiny over how social media platforms handle licensed music.
Amid legal battles, Eminem is also celebrating a personal milestone- he has become a grandfather.
His daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 29, recently announced the birth of her first child with husband Evan McClintock. The couple welcomed a baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Hailie shared a photo of the newborn dressed in a blue hoodie, resting next to a sign bearing his full name and birth date. The child's middle name, "Marshall," is a tribute to Eminem, whose full name is Marshall Mathers.
"Happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little one," Hailie captioned the post.
In October 2024, Eminem gave fans a glimpse into this new chapter in his music video for Temporary, which featured touching clips of Hailie growing up. The video ends with an emotional moment where she reveals her pregnancy to her father-a moment that now carries even deeper significance.

Brazil Asks Meta To Remove Chatbots That 'Eroticise' Children
Brazil: Brazil's government has asked US technology giant Meta to rid its platforms of chatbots that mimic children and can make sexually suggestive remarks, the attorney general's office (AGU) announced Monday. Users of Meta's platforms, which include Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, can create and customise such bots using the company's generative artificial intelligence, AI Studio. The AGU said in a statement that Meta must "immediately" remove "artificial intelligence robots that simulate profiles with childlike language and appearance and are allowed to engage in sexually explicit dialogue." It denounced the "proliferation" of such bots in what it called an "extrajudicial notice" sent to Meta last week, adding that they "promote the eroticization of children." The document cited several examples of sexually charged conversations with bots pretending to be minors. The AGU's request does not include sanctions, but the agency said it had reminded Meta that online platforms in Brazil must take down illicit content created by their users, even without a court order. It comes at a time of outrage in the South American nation over a case of alleged child sexual exploitation by Hytalo Santos, a well-known influencer who posted content on Instagram featuring partially naked minors taking part in suggestive dances. Santos was arrested last week as part of an investigation into "exposure with sexual connotations" to adolescents, and his Instagram account is no longer available. In June, Brazil's Supreme Court voted to require tech companies to assume greater responsibility for user-generated content.
