At Hot 97’s Summer Jam this year, Drake squashed his rumored micro-beef with Minaj by hitting the stage with her and Wayne. Rich Homie Quan, and Young Thug are the new class of Rich Gang affiliates, while Nicki and Drake remain wholly committed to Wayne’s army. His third album, Hotel California, released last year, was a commercial flop.

Then there’s Nicki, the feisty Queens spitter who can go bar for bar with the boys. In five years, Drake has sold over 25 million albums and singles combined, and topped the Beatles this year for the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100. That was two years before Nicki Minaj and Drake blossomed into Tunechi’s big money brands. It was 2007 when Lil Wayne recruited the Compton native to Young Money Entertainment. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been victims of sexual abuse, but may when they have repeatedly come forward publicly, as Elden has.There’s been a lot of emphasis on crew love in Tyga’s space over the years. When the photo was shot, Nirvana was a little-known band with no sense they were making a generation-defining album in "Nevermind," their first major label release, whose songs included "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come as You Are" and "Lithium." Cobain died in 1994. The suit sought at least $150,000 from each of more than a dozen defendants, including the record labels involved in the release and re-release of "Nevermind," and cover photographer Kirk Weddle.Įlden's father was a friend of Weddle, who took pictures of several swimming babies in several scenarios at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena, California. Mabie said despite the photo being 30 years old, the lawsuit was within the statute of limitations of federal child pornography law for several reasons, including the fact that the image is still in circulation and earning money. One of Elden's attorney's, Maggie Mabie, told The Associated Press in August that he filed the lawsuit when he did because he "finally has the courage to hold these actors accountable." The judge gave Elden's attorneys until January 27 to file an amended complaint that addresses the issues raised in the defendants' motion, or the suit will be more definitively dismissed. "He has reenacted the photograph in exchange for a fee, many times he has had the album title 'Nevermind' tattooed across his chest he has appeared on a talk show wearing a self parodying, nude-colored onesie he has autographed copies of the album cover for sale on eBay and he has used the connection to try to pick up women." "Elden has spent three decades profiting from his celebrity as the self-anointed 'Nirvana Baby,'" the document says. The motion says the lawsuit is "on its face, not serious," and Elden's conduct reflects that. The motion to dismiss filed December 22 by Nirvana's attorneys argues that the suit was filed well past the 10-year statute of limitations of one of the laws used as a cause of action, and that another law it cites wasn't enacted until 2003 and was not retroactive. The lawsuit, filed in August in federal court in California, said that Elden had suffered "lifelong damages" as the band and others profited from the ubiquitous image of him naked underwater appearing to swim after a dollar bill on a fish hook.
