Nick Cannon & Zeus Network Hit With Lawsuit Over “Wild ‘N Out” Knockoff

HonkMagazine

Nick Cannon is once again making headlines, but this time for a reason that could land him in legal trouble. Viacom International Inc., the company behind MTV, has filed a lawsuit against him and Zeus Network over their new show, *Bad vs. Wild*. Viacom claims that Cannon’s show is a direct copy of their long-running series, *Wild’ N Out*. According to Viacom’s lawyers, *Bad vs. Wild* closely resembles *Wild’ N Out*, using many of the same ideas and elements without creating something new. Attorney George W. Kroup stated, “Zeus copied parts of *Wild’ N Out* when making *Bad vs. Wild*, and they knew they weren’t allowed to do that.”

Things get trickier because Cannon has been a big part of *Wild’ N Out* for years. Not only did he host the show, but he also played a crucial role in its fame. Viacom argues that by working on *Bad vs. Wild*, Cannon is breaking his contract with them since the new show competes directly with their program. This situation could spell big trouble for Zeus Network, known for its bold and unfiltered reality shows. Viacom is sending a clear message that there’s a big difference between being inspired by a show and copying it outright.

The big question now is whether this legal dispute will end up in court or if Cannon and Viacom will reach a behind the scenes agreement. Lawsuits like this can get messy, and fans of both *Wild’ N Out* and Cannon’s projects are eager to see what happens next. In the entertainment industry, being original is very important. If Viacom gets its way, they’ll ensure everyone understands this message, including Cannon.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
