In a powerful legal move aimed at correcting what it calls long-standing injustices, the estate of the late Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad has filed three federal lawsuits in California targeting the unauthorized use of his voice in major musical works by hip hop and R&B icons.

Beyoncé closed out her Cowboy Carter Tour on July 26 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, ending a 32-date run. She didn’t just break records, she reshaped country music with the tour. With more than $407 million grossed and 1.6 million tickets sold, it’s the highest-grossing “country” tour of all time. For me, the impact was deeply personal.

Sean Combs’ legal team has officially filed a motion asking the court to grant his release while he awaits sentencing, arguing that his circumstances are unlike any other case on record. In documents submitted Tuesday to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs’ attorneys pointed to his acquittal on the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, while framing his two guilty verdicts—related to transporting women across state lines for prostitution, as legally and socially unorthodox. They insisted that “Sean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct,” adding, “he may be the only person currently in a United States jail…
