Drake pursues Kendrick Lamar's contract in legal battle
Toronto rapper Drake is intensifying his legal fight against Universal Music Group (UMG) by requesting sensitive documents related to Kendrick Lamar in a defamation lawsuit. The court is being urged to compel UMG and its CEO, Lucian Grainge, to provide Kendrick Lamar's full contract. He also wants details on allegations of domestic violence and other supposed criminal activities tied to the Compton rapper, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Drake alleges that UMG supported defamatory claims against him through Kendrick Lamar's diss track Not Like Us . He claims the aim was to undermine Drake's music and brand during contract negotiations. This bitter feud erupted after Drake and J. Cole's 2023 song First Person Shooter . In that song, they branded themselves the 'big three' alongside Lamar. Kendrick responded dismissively, sparking a series of acrimonious diss tracks that have included serious accusations. These accusations include domestic abuse and pedophilia. Drake's legal team argues that UMG has only provided a heavily redacted 22-page version of Lamar's contract, which they claim is unreadable. They're now seeking access to the full, unredacted contract alongside financial records detailing Interscope's profits. Drake's team also wants the valuation of Lamar's music catalogue over the last five and a half years. Drake contends this information is crucial because he believes UMG promoted the alleged defamatory content to increase its profits. Drake's diss track Family Matters notably accuses Lamar of mistreating his wife and questioning his fatherhood. He sings, 'When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defence 'cause she's bigger than you?'. He also alleges, 'They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen.' In response, UMG insists that Lucian Grainge had 'no meaningful involvement' in the dispute. The lawsuit underscores how disputes in the entertainment world can escalate beyond music into complex legal arenas, involving allegations that reverberate in public and private spheres. Drake's fight for transparency and truth continues, with discovery ongoing and critical documents yet to be fully disclosed. The courts and public await the unfolding of this high-profile battle. The contract details and the alleged crimes' evidence request demonstrate the extent to which these rap icons are willing to go in defending their reputations.

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen after eight years
Daniel Day-Lewis has ended his eight-year retirement with a powerful return in the film Anemone . The film will premiere at the New York Film Festival from 26 September to 13 October. This marks the acclaimed actor's first onscreen role since 2017's Phantom Thread . The film is not just a comeback for Day-Lewis but also the feature directorial debut of his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. Ronana co-wrote the script alongside his father. Anemone is described as a gripping family drama set in Northern England. It explores the tense and complex relationships among brothers, fathers, and sons, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film focuses on the legacies of political and personal violence that continue to affect the characters. The story follows a middle-aged man, played by Sean Bean. Bean's character, who leaves his suburban home to enter the woods and reconnect with his estranged hermit brother, is played by Day-Lewis. Their relationship is both strained and tender, shaped by traumatic events from their past in Anemone. Anemone boasts strong supporting performances, including Samantha Morton and Samuel Bottomley. It also employs widescreen cinematography by Ben Fordesman that adds a striking visual element. The emotional depth and detailed storytelling aim to chart a path toward familial redemption despite overwhelming challenges. Before this release, Daniel Day-Lewis had publicly announced his permanent retirement from acting, expressing a need to believe in the value of his work. He said, 'The work can seem vital. Irresistible, even. And if an audience believes it, that should be good enough for me. But, lately, it isn't.' His return to a project so closely tied to family highlights the significance of this film to him personally. Day-Lewis's reappearance on screen and the father-son collaboration make Anemone a must-watch for cinephiles. As he put it, this film carries the weight of responsibility and personal meaning, promising a deeply emotional viewing experience for audiences worldwide.

JOMBA! Back to re-imagine border crossings
THE UKZN Centre for Creative Arts presents the 27th JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience, a 13-day explosion of world-class contemporary dance, bringing together dancers and dance-makers from South Africa, Spain, France, Réunion, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Germany, and Luxembourg from August 26 to September 7 in Durban. The theme of this year's festival is 'moving border/lands' as JOMBA! sets out to engage, through curated dance encounters, and with artists and dance makers who battle with, and navigate, the current unfolding socio- and geo-politics of border/lands. JOMBA! curator and artist director Dr Lliane Loots said, 'We have curated a series of artistic encounters that we feel question ideas of border crossings, and have invited dance works that ask us to re-look at borders (real and imagined) as metaphoric and poetic spaces which we are either seeking to cross, or to renegotiate. We want to honour dance makers who bring beauty, humour, pathos, and politics to our stages and hearts.' Veteran South African dance-maker Sbonakaliso (aka Sbo) Ndaba is honoured as the 2025 JOMBA! Legacy Artist, for her innovative choreographic work that spans over three decades of dance-making in SA and internationally. Sbo and her SboNdaba Dance present In Search of Our Humanity, a masterful new work that takes the audience on an emotional journey through South Africa's evolution, from the ancient, free-roaming Khoi and San ancestors, to the struggle for unity. For the full programme go to: Tickets are R85 and R65 (concessions and groups) or R390 once-off for a full festival pass.
