Lefty Gunplay responds to publishing royalty allegations over Kendrick Lamar's ‘tv off'
Rapper Lefty Gunplay, whose real name is Franklin Holladay, recently responded to claims made by Audiomack cofounder Brian Zisook on X (formerly Twitter). On February 16, Zisook alleged that Gunplay had not been earning publishing royalties from his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on the track 'tv off' from Lamar's 'GNX' album. Zisook claimed that Gunplay was not registered with a Performing Rights Organization (PRO), preventing him from collecting royalties for the song and his other works. He also explained that U.S. songwriters have three years to claim their royalties before the funds are redirected to major publishers. The next day, Zisook updated his post, stating that "various associates" informed him that Lefty had signed up with BMI, which would allow him to start collecting his royalties.

What we know about the Super Bowl halftime show demonstrator
The Super Bowl halftime performer who held up the Sudanese and Palestinian flags in protest during Sunday night's performance in New Orleans will be banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events, a league spokesperson told CNN. The protester was confirmed by the NFL to be part of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. The individual acted without coordinating with showrunners, the league said. Here's what we know. The protest occurred late in Lamar's set, soon after he launched into his performance of his song 'tv off.' Footage and photos show the protester was clad in black – matching the dancers around him – with what appears to be a combination of the Sudanese and Palestinian flags, reading 'Sudan' and 'Gaza,' respectively. The protester was first seen standing atop a black car used as part of the stage. Video captured by CNN affiliate WDSU then shows the individual running onto the field with the flag before security personnel grab him. The flags were briefly seen in the background during the Super Bowl broadcast. The demonstrator has not been publicly identified, but the NFL confirmed he was one of the 400-member cast that performed on the field. New Orleans police described the demonstrator only as an adult Black man, saying he was ejected from the stadium after being detained. As of Monday morning, it appeared he would not face further consequences, with police indicating he was not arrested. 'No arrest nor summons was issued,' the NOPD said in a news release. 'As such, the individual will not be identified.' 'The NOPD continues to work with NFL and the halftime production team to ascertain any affiliation the individual may have had with the halftime show,' the release added. An NFL spokesperson commended security for 'quickly detaining' the individual, saying in a statement late Sunday, 'The individual hid the item on his possession and unveiled it late in the show. No one involved with the production was aware of the individual's intent.' The protest was not planned nor did it occur in any of the halftime show rehearsals, according to a separate statement by Roc Nation, the Jay-Z-owned company that serves as an entertainment adviser to the NFL. CNN has sought comment from representatives for Lamar. The demonstration was evidently about the ongoing conflicts ravaging Sudan and Gaza, where millions of people have been gripped by humanitarian crises. While a ceasefire took effect last month, much of Gaza has been destroyed over the last 16 months as Israel bombards the enclave in response to the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed, and 1.9 million people – about 90% of Gaza's population – have been displaced, according to the United Nations. In Sudan, thousands have died and millions have been displaced amid a civil war between two generals competing for territory: Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, leader of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, who heads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The war, which began in April 2023, has since spiraled into one of the world's worst humanitarian catastrophes. The US has previously determined both sides have committed war crimes, and last month, outgoing-Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the RSF had committed genocide – the nation's second in less than three decades.
