2 years ago, Frank Ocean’s estranged father, Calvin Cooksey, sued Russell Simmons and Global Grind. He accused them of defaming his name by labeling him a deadbeat dad, and decided that $142 million would make it all better. SMH. The Global Grind story was based around a tweet sent out by Frank himself, where he called Cooksey a scheming father and a deadbeat, so it’s not like they made up something out of thin air. Thankfully, a judge has once again shut down the suit, ordering the case to be dismissed once and for all, and Cooksey not be awarded from his complaint.
Kid Cudi Throws In The Towel In Custody War…And His Child’s Mother Has Some Pretty Serious Claims!
Kid Cudi had been battling his daughter’s mother in court for full custody, but it looks like it’s a battle he just can’t win. They’d been going at it for well over a year, with Cud even buying a crib in Chicago just to be closer to both his daughter and her mom. He claims he’s been giving lots of money for his little one, but the BM has countered that, saying he’s full of it and provided “sporadic and inconsistent amounts” of support, on top of the fact he was never around, “has violent tendencies and a long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse.” Sheesh. In the end, Cudi didn’t get his way, and allowed his ex to take full custody, will him getting visitation rights and having to pay child support. Perhaps it’s for the best? Marisa Mendez
