TMZ reports that Pain, born Faheem Rashad Najm, has filed a lawsuit against Young Money on behalf of his company Nappy Boy Productions.

According to court documents, Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., entered into an agreement with Pain that would pay the singer some royalties from his 2008 album “Tha Carter III,” for producing and being featured on the song “Got Money.”



“Tha Carter III” has sold over 3.2 million copies in the U.S. alone, and the “I’m ‘n Luv (Wit a Stripper)” hit maker wants his cut.

Additionally, Pain claims that his artist Young Fyre was not financially compensated for producing the song “How to Hate” off of “Tha Carter IV.”

He’s asking a judge to award him more than $500,000.

Man Carjacks Police SUV and Leads L.A. Deputies on a Chase

A man led officers with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on a wild chase in one of their own vehicles before surrendering in the San Fernando Valley town of Reseda.

The incident began around 6:30 am Tuesday morning when a deputy responded to a call from a psychiatric unit at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. When the officer arrived, the suspect ran out of the hospital, jumped in the patrol vehicle and drove away.

“That’s when you see the suspect running out of the hospital,” Deputy Juanita Navarro told CBS2. “[The deputy] rushes out of his vehicle. At some point during that, the suspect enters the sergeant’s vehicle, and takes off.”

The California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department began pursuing the vehicle. At one point, the suspect put the car in reverse and rammed one of the pursuing patrol cars.



The move resulted in a deputy jumping out of his cruiser and opening fire on the suspect’s commandeered vehicle, shattering one of the windows.

The suspect eventually pulled the stolen vehicle over in the town of Reseda, where he was able to surrender. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Man arrested after police find 9 bodies dismembered in his apartment

Japanese police have arrested a man after finding parts of nine bodies in his apartment in Zama, near Tokyo.

Police found two severed heads in a cold-storage container outside the flat of the suspect, named as Takahiro Shiraishi, while investigating the disappearance of a woman.

They also found the body parts of seven other people, also stored in cool boxes, in his apartment.

The 27-year-old is being held on suspicion of disposing of the bodies.

Police had found the body parts of eight females and one male, some in varying stages of decomposition, Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported.

Mr Shiraishi told police he had killed the nine and hid their bodies, broadcaster NHK reported, citing the Metropolitan Police Department.

“I killed them and did some work on the bodies in order to hide the evidence,” NHK quoted him as saying.



Meanwhile, his next-door neighbour said he had started smelling strange odours from the flat after Mr Shiraishi moved in in August, NHK and Asahi Shimbun said.

Police made the grisly discovery while looking for a 23-year-old woman, who had been missing since 21 October.

Investigators found that Mr Shiraishi had been in contact with her, after she wrote online that she wanted to commit suicide.

On Tuesday, reporters gathered outside the suspect’s home, while neighbours expressed shock at the incident.

“It’s a quiet residential area here, with a day care centre nearby. I can’t believe the bodies were discovered in an area like this,” a 41-year-old neighbour told Mainichi Shimbun.

Cops uncover 97 pounds of pot, nearly $1M after suspect invites them in

weed

Cops uncovered 97 pounds of marijuana and nearly $1 million in cash at an apartment in Brooklyn — after being invited inside by the tenant, police said.

The stash was found Friday night inside a residence at 899 Montgomery Street, according to officials.

Investigators from the Jersey City Police Department had asked the NYPD to aid them in the search for an individual, who was believed to be staying at the apartment, before the bust went down.

When officers arrived, a different man answered the door and allowed them to come in — despite there being large amounts of pot sitting around in plain sight, police said.

It didn’t take long for cops to spot the reefer — prompting them to arrest the man and two others who were with him.



Authorities then obtained a search warrant and discovered more cannabis and cash throughout the home. All in all, they seized $931,000 and the 97 pounds of pot.

Apartment residents Humphrey Olivo, 36, and Yazmin Olivo, 30, were both charged with criminal possession, criminal sale, and criminal use of marijuana.

Jose Pichardo — who was also inside the residence at the time — was slapped with criminal use of drug paraphernalia charges, along with criminal possession and criminal sale of marijuana. The 28-year-old is listed as living in Manhattan.

It’s unclear if he or the Olivos know the person that Jersey City police were looking for.

Travis Scott Sued by Fan Paralyzed at NYC Show

A fan is left paralyzed after allegedly being pushed off a balcony during a Travis Scott performance.

NYPOST: Rapper Travis Scott — who has impregnated Kylie Jenner — allowed his recent Manhattan concert to get so out of hand that one of his fans fell off a balcony and was left paralyzed, a lawsuit alleges.

And the performer only made matters worse by ordering his security guards to drag the badly injured young man’s limp body to the stage — so Scott could bizarrely try to give him a ring as a consolation prize, the plaintiff claims.

“Yo, pick him up! Pick his ass up! Take this ring! Pick him up, man!” the singer can be heard yelling on cellphone footage from the show as he leans over Kyle Green.



“I was in a lot of pain,” Green told The Post. “I just laid there, and finally, an ambulance came.’’

Green, 23, was at the “Goosebumps” performer’s April 30 show at Terminal 5 when the incident occurred, his Manhattan Supreme Court suit says.

“Everyone was packed in like sardines. It was hard to breathe,” recalled Green, who was living in Brooklyn and attending the Fashion Institute of Technology at the time.

Some fans — egged on by Scott, who is expecting a baby with Jenner — began leaping from the balcony into the crowd’s waiting arms, according to Green.

Green said he was on a balcony when he was pushed over the railing by the surging crowd.

“I fell and hit the floor. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by security guards, who scooped me up,” he recounted. “Travis Scott was yelling at his security guards to bring me to the stage.

“They didn’t put a backboard or a neck brace on me or anything, they just kinda lifted me up and pulled me around,” Green said. “Then they dropped me in front of the stage.”

That’s when the rapper gave him this ring.

Green said his serious injuries included fractured vertebrae, a broken left wrist and fractured right ankle. He’s had surgery but was left paralyzed on his left side and must get around in a wheelchair.

He now lives in Dutchess County with his family after leaving school and his third-floor Brooklyn walk-up because of his injuries.

“The emotional toll is just brutal,” Green said. “I was very independent, and now I depend on my family for almost everything.’’

His suit claims the venue and security guards should have known that Scott “had incited mayhem and chaos at prior events.” In May, the Grammy Award-nominated rapper pleaded not guilty to inciting a riot at an Arkansas concert.

Reps for Scott did not return a request for comment. The venue declined to comment.
