Delhi HC dismisses IPL team RCB's plea against Uber Moto's YouTube advert
The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed a plea by Indian Premier League cricket team Royal Challengers Bengaluru against a YouTube advertisement of Uber Moto featuring Sunrisers Hyderabad's cricketer Travis Head, saying no prima facie case of disparagement or infringement of trademark was made out. The court opined that the general perception created by holistic viewing of the advertisement is one of healthy banter and good-natured lighthearted humour, as it refused to grant an interim injunction on the advertisement. The high court said in the advertisement there was "no element of demeaning/ criticism/ condemning/ ridiculing/ defaming/ mocking or falsity" with a view to injure or harm the RCB trademark or RCB cricket team. Justice Saurabh Banerjee dismissed the application by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, saying it does not call for any interference at this stage. "All throughout the impugned advertisement, there is no (in)direct imputation/ insinuation/ comparison/ exaggeration/ sensationalism/ distortion of matters of fact of any kind by any of the defendants against the RCB trademark/ RCB cricket team," the court said in its 35-page order. Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited filed a suit against Uber India Systems Pvt Ltd claiming that Uber Moto's YouTube advertisement titled "Baddies in Bengaluru ft. Travis Head" disparages its trademark. The court, which passed the order on an interim application by RCB for relief, added the advertisement cannot be said to be false and misleading at this stage and there is no scope of any kind of irreparable harm, loss and injury likely to be caused to the plaintiff due to non-grant of temporary injunction. The court said there is no prima facie case of disparagement or infringement of trademark made out by the plaintiff in its favour and against the defendants. "The impugned advertisement is in the context of a game of cricket, a game of sportsmanship, which, in the opinion of this court, does not call for interference of any sort at this stage, especially while this court is considering the present application... "More so, since in a case like the present one, interference by this court, at this stage, would tantamount to allowing the plaintiff to run on water with assurances of their not falling," Justice Banerjee said. The court said there is nothing underlying in the advertisement which can trigger or motivate any members of the general public, much less any of the players/ viewers/ followers of any of the RCB or SRH cricket teams at this stage. "There can be no one-sided impression or one-sided version of the impugned advertisement, particularly, since what according to the plaintiff is right' can according to the defendants be wrong', and vice versa. "The act(s) of disparagement cannot be concluded on the basis of the reviews/ comments/ statements made by few viewers/ followers as there are always two sides of a coin. In any event, the same cannot form or be the benchmark for determining the act of disparagement and/ or infringement... This is not a telltale," the court said. Earlier, describing the video advertisement, RCB's counsel said the cricketer could be seen running towards Bengaluru cricket stadium with an aim to vandalise the signage of "Bengaluru Vs Hyderabad", takes a spray paint and writes "Royally Challenged" before Bengaluru making it "Royally Challenged Bengaluru" which disparages RCB's mark. The lawyer contended that when a negative comment is made, there is disparagement and added that Uber Moto, being the commercial sponsor of Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL team, while promoting its product of booking a ride, used RCB's trademark in the course of its trade, that too its "deceptive variant", which was impermissible under law. The counsel representing Uber said RCB had "severely discounted" the sense of humour of the public at large. Uber's counsel said good humour, sense of fun and banter are intrinsic to advertising messaging and these factors "will be killed" if such a standard, as mooted by RCB, is applied. The advertisement, by then, had garnered 1.3 million views and a number of comments from users on the social media platform.

Young Scooter's Funeral Held In Atlanta, Rapper To Be Buried In South Carolina
Emotions ran deep in Atlanta on Monday (April 7) as family, friends, and fans gathered to mourn the loss of rapper Young Scooter, who tragically died on his 39th birthday. The funeral service, held at Saint Philip AME Church in Atlanta, brought the city together in remembrance of a life that ended far too soon. Various sources captured poignant scenes from the somber occasion, showing Scooter's casket carried by devastated loved ones as mourners looked on. The ceremony, though heavy with emotion, was also a celebration of the beloved rapper who helped shape Atlanta's sound. In a symbolic tribute to peace, hope, and freedom, white doves were also released into the sky following the service. To finalize his departure from this world, Young Scooter, neé Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey, will be buried in Walterboro, South Carolina, where his journey began. Scooter's death unfolded after a chaotic and tragic sequence of events that began with a 911 'swatter' call placed by Demi Blanco (born Demetria Spencer), a reality star known from Zeus Network's Baddies. Spencer has since been under public scrutiny for what authorities say was a false report. In her initial call, she claimed to be part of the 'Neighborhood Watch' and reported seeing a 'naked and bloody' woman being assaulted outside a home in Atlanta's Lakewood Heights neighborhood. That call prompted an immediate police response to the home, where Young Scooter had been present. When officers arrived, they reported seeing Bailey attempt to flee. While trying to scale a wooden fence, he suffered a severe arterial injury to his thigh. The Fulton County Medical Examiner confirmed his cause of death as 'accidental' due to blood loss from that injury. Police have since emphasized they never discharged their firearms or used force. 'While we understand that many people are saddened by his passing, it is important to recognize that Atlanta police officers neither discharged their firearms nor used any force against Mr. Bailey,' the department said in a statement. Audio from the 911 call later revealed Spencer struggled to provide a clear description of the alleged assailant, and responding officers found no evidence to support her claims. On April 1, Spencer attempted to explain herself during an Instagram Live, saying, 'There's a reaction for every action. This is part A, you guys didn't have part A, you guys only had part B.' She continued, 'In the narrative it looks like I'm trying to set this man up. I'm giving you what led up to the call. I was physically abused, so I called to protect myself. I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt.' Spencer was arrested for making the false emergency report. She was charged and subsequently released on a $7,500 bond. The family of Young Scooter released a statement to VIBE expressing their devastation and the need for clarity. 'We are completely devastated by the loss of Kenneth 'Young Scooter' Bailey and are currently still waiting for more information to understand the circumstance,' the statement read. 'Young Scooter was more than just a Hip-Hop artist; he was a phenomenal father and mentor to a lot of Atlanta youth pursuing both sports and music. Scooter was their advocate and support system. He always encouraged his children and the youth to pursue their dreams no matter what.' The message concluded with: 'The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and love from the city and all over the country. At this time, they are requesting privacy and prayers as they grieve and wait for answers.' See footage from the heartbreaking occasion above.

Atlanta Community Celebrates Young Scooter's Life With Balloon Release Vigil
A wave of love, grief, and unanswered questions swept through Atlanta's Kirkwood neighborhood on Wednesday night (April 3) as hundreds gathered to honor the life and legacy of rapper Young Scooter. The artist, born Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey, sadly died on his 39th birthday after suffering a fatal injury while running from police. Family, friends, fans, and fellow artists came together at the vigil to celebrate the man they knew as more than just a rapper, but someone who meant a lot to his community. 'He gets so much love because he gave so much and he embodied so much love — he was love,' said Baby Jade, a close family friend and well-known podcast host of 11 Alive reported from the scene. At the vigil, the atmosphere appeared to be both mournful and celebratory of Scooter's life. Red, white, and blue balloons floated into the sky. Music producer ATL Jacob, a close collaborator, offered words of comfort. 'If y'all going through whatever, feel the music,' he said. 'Let it resonate with you and carry you through.' Rapper, Ralo, also shared a deeply personal memory: 'I grew up in his household, on his sofa. I slept in his bed. His momma took me in when my momma wasn't able to.' He also expressed heartbreaking regret: 'Me and Scooter were going through things before this, and I just wish I would've fixed it. I gotta live with that for the rest of my life.' Scooter's mother, brother, and children stood at the center of the gathering, leaning on the community for strength and encouragement. See above. Scooter's death unfolded after a chaotic and tragic sequence of events that began with a 911 'swatter' call placed by Demi Blanco (born Demetria Spencer), a reality star known from Zeus Network's Baddies.

The family, still reeling from the sudden loss, released a statement to VIBE this week expressing their devastation and the need for clarity. 'We are completely devastated by the loss of Kenneth 'Young Scooter' Bailey and are currently still waiting for more information to understand the circumstance,' the statement read.

'Swatter' In Young Scooter's 'Accidental' Death Contradicts Her Initial 911 Call While On Live
The woman behind the 911 call that set off the tragic chain of events leading to Young Scooter's death on his 39th birthday is now speaking out — contradicting her own initial account of the incident. Demi Blanco, a reality star from Zeus Network's Baddies, took to Instagram Live on Tuesday (April 1) to defend herself against backlash for apparently 'lying' to police. Facing scrutiny on social media, she insisted that the public doesn't know 'the full story' and claimed she called 911 on March 28 to 'protect herself' — a stark contradiction to her original report to Atlanta Emergency Services. In her initial call, Demi claimed she was the 'Neighborhood Watch' and witnessed a 'naked and bloody' woman being assaulted outside an Atlanta home. The claim urged police to respond immediately. On Live, however, she told a different story. 'There's a reaction for every action,' she began. 'This is part A, you guys didn't have part A, you guys only had part B.' She continued, 'In the narrative it looks like I'm trying to set this man up. I'm giving you part B. I'm giving you what led up to the call. I was physically abused, so I called to protect myself. I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt.' According to a press statement from the department, 31-year-old Demetria Spence was taken into custody and charged with transmitting a false public alarm. Audio from the emergency call revealed Demi struggled to provide dispatchers with a clear description of the alleged assailant. When Atlanta police arrived, they found no evidence matching her claims but did encounter Young Scooter and another man just moments before the rapper took off running. During his attempted escape, Scooter suffered a fatal arterial injury to his thigh while jumping a wooden fence. Police have maintained they never discharged their firearms or used force against him, a stance reinforced by a statement from the department: 'While we understand that many people are saddened by his passing, it is important to recognize that Atlanta police officers neither discharged their firearms nor used any force against Mr. Bailey.' Despite their statement, Young Thug has publicly challenged the police's stance, accusing APD gang investigator Marissa Viverito of orchestrating a cover-up. Viverito previously testified in Thug's ongoing YSL case — a trial in which Scooter had also been in the courtroom. 'Autopsy came back street got shot,' he prematurely claimed. Reportedly, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is now seeking to question Demi, as the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has since ruled Young Scooter's death as an 'accident.' The report confirms that his fatal injury came from the wooden fence he attempted to scale, directly contradicting the narrative pushed by Young Thug that Scooter was shot. The family of Young Scooter, neé Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey, released a statement to VIBE on Wednesday morning (April 2) revealing that they are waiting for more information surrounding his death. 'We are completely devastated by the loss of Kenneth 'Young Scooter' Bailey and are currently still waiting for more information to understand the circumstance,' detailed the family. 'Young Scooter was more than just a Hip-Hop artist; he was a phenomenal father and mentor to a lot of Atlanta youth pursuing both sports and music. Scooter was their advocate and support system. He always encouraged his children and the youth to pursue their dreams no matter what.' The statement continued, 'The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and love from the city and all over the country. At this time, they are requesting privacy and prayers as they grieve and wait for answers.'
