Orlando Brown Threatens Legal Action Over “Ms. Beautiful V” Sampling, Demands His Share

Orlando Brown is suing rapper Chow Lee, who sampled a viral quote from one of Brown’s infamous interview segments without clearing it for his hit “Ms. Beautiful V.” In a recent No Jumper appearance, Brown explained his distaste for being caught up in the messy circumstances, and now he’s threatening legal action for Chow Lee’s usage of his voice. Chow Lee’s track initially sparked controversy, its opening featuring a portion from a 2020 interview, where Brown provided fans with a peculiar commentary. The sample harmlessly turned into a viral moment, contributing to the hilarity of “Ms. Beautiful V,” which has already garnered a whopping 2.8 million views on YouTube.

Still, the single’s success is not all that exciting for Brown himself, who claims he deserves to be compensated for using his voice and likeness on the track. On No Jumper, Brown noted the impressive view count of the song and made it clear that he felt the rapper owed him. “I need a dollar a view,” Brown explained, suggesting the financial benefit of the song’s viral popularity. His dollar a view demand illustrates his position that the song’s success is due in no small part to his vocal contributions. Fans of the former child star wasted no time showing support for Brown on social media after The Neighborhood Talk posted the comments.

The general agreement was that Brown had purposefully “dangled” the quote in the interview, as he would have done with a demo, fully aware that it would likely be pilfered in an upcoming performance. One user even speculated that Brown “did it on purpose to make the song a hit so he could make money,” while others have come out to defend him, arguing that he deserves a piece of change for the role he played in the song’s virality. With millions of views and growing public interest, the legal fight could set a precedent for how artists navigate unauthorized samples.

Migos Reunion Album Could Arrive in January 2027 as Quavo Teases Group’s Return

Quavo suggests Migos may be gearing up for a big comeback as the group’s anniversary, hinting that the trio’s new album could be on the way by January 2027.

Quavo sat down with Baller Alert for a recent interview where he discussed Migos’ legacy, his relationship with Offset after their spat, and how Takeoff’s passing will be felt forever. The chat also gave a clearer sense of when fans can expect new music from Quavo and Offset as Migos.

The rapper has teased an upcoming Migos album in the past, and his latest comments suggest the project is nearing completion. He said he and Offset have been working together and teased that the album is almost ready to be turned in. With the Migos anniversary coming in January, he teased fans might hear something around that time.

The next project will also carry a heavy emotional weight following Takeoff’s death. Both Quavo and Offset have honored his legacy, making any potential Migos return a significant moment for the group and fans. Quavo also hinted that the album will not be another installment in the Culture series and teased a tour to coincide with the project.

Quavo has his own new album on the way before that potential reunion. QRÖMELIFE is set to drop on October 2, and Pharrell helped behind the boards on the project. The album already has a few singles attached to it, including “Backwards” featuring T.I., “Trance (Walk It Down),” and “HAAVIN.”

As of now, January 2027 remains a possibility rather than a confirmed release date. Still, with Quavo and Offset said to be working together and the anniversary of the Migos on the horizon, new music could offer fans a new chapter in the group’s story while keeping Takeoff’s legacy firmly established.

Yella Beezy’s Mo3 Murder Trial Gets New Court Date Before October Jury Selection

Next month, the jury selection process will get underway for the Yella Beezy murder-for-hire case. This is part of the legal proceedings surrounding the 2020 killing of Dallas rapper Mo3.

Beezy’s next hearing is set for October 6, 2026, in Dallas, Texas, according to the Dallas County Clerk and court documents reportedly obtained by Instagram user No Jumper. Judge Chika Anyiam is expected to preside ahead of jury selection later this month.

The latest court date follows Beezy and his defense team’s request for a delay. His trial was scheduled to begin Monday, September 14, but his attorneys asked for more time to obtain the written record from White’s trial. The defense also said a scheduling conflict involves an expert witness they plan to call. Prosecutors did not object to the request, and Judge Anyiam granted the delay.

White’s conviction could put some of the same evidence and arguments from his proceedings back in the spotlight at Beezy’s trial. But the allegation of Beezy orchestrating the killing presents a key issue unique to his case , the prosecutors’ efforts to prove payment. How the evidence is presented and challenged will be a key part of the proceedings.

Another co-defendant is involved in the case. Prosecutors say Brown was allegedly in the car with White when Mo3 died in the Dallas Interstate 35 ambush. Brown is also charged with capital murder in the case.

The next big date on the calendar for now is October 6, when Beezy and his legal team are due back in court. Jury selection is scheduled for October 26, another significant step in the long-running legal saga surrounding the death of Mo3.
