Jay-Z was wrapped up in a lawsuit with fragrance company Parlux, and the brand reportedly lost its appeal for a 2021 court ruling. The billionaire rapper countersued the brand in 2016 for unpaid royalties after they sued Hov for allegedly breaching his contract. Parlux was reportedly seeking $68 million. They claimed Jay-Z failed to promote their perfume as part of the terms of a 2012 contract.
The mogul testified in the case, saying, “It was so frustrating working with [Parlux].” He also said he was on trial for something he didn’t do.
Now, a judge ruled Parlux to pay almost $7 million in unpaid royalties for his ‘Gold’ fragrance. This past Thursday, a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice ruled that $6.78 million is owed to Jay-Z, including interest. The perfume brand’s lawsuit was sparked in 2016, with Parlux seeking $68 million. They claimed Jay-Z failed to promote their perfume as part of terms of a 2012 contract.
Parlux had sued Jay in 2016, claiming he failed to hold up his end of the promotional bargain when they teamed up to launch his cologne, Gold Jay-Z. The company said the whole deal was a stinking disaster because the rapper refused to do media and public appearances to pump up sales when the fragrance dropped in 2013. Parlux wanted $18 million from Hov but now he's effectively turned the financial tables on Parlux.
On Monday (June 14), the pop star announced her new fragrance, “God Is a Woman,” will be coming to an Ulta near you. “Coming soon @ultabeauty,” Grande teased on Instagram along with a video showing the first look at her upcoming perfume, which is housed in a white bottle with a diamond-shaped cut-out.
Jennifer Lopez opens up about who “J.Lo” is, balancing music, movies and television, and the importance of finding love.
Jennifer Lopez balances plenty of things — not just being a working mom. She's Jenny from the Block. She's, yes, a mom, and she's also a Coach spokesmodel, a performer who has the Super Bowl Halftime Show on her résumé, a producer, a two-time Golden Globe nominee, and she's got a fashion and fragrance empire.
If you’ve ever seen inside Canadian rapper Aubrey Drake Graham's Toronto mansion, you already know that he's got impeccable taste. The sprawling 50,000 square-foot home boasts not only an NBA-sized basketball court with a pyramidal skylight, but a chandelier adorned with 20,000 pieces of hand-cut Swarovski crystal. It's "overwhelmingly high luxury," the 34-year-old told AD earlier this year.
Jennifer Lopez explained how they landed on Maluma to make his big-screen debut in Marry Me, which she also produced with her partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. “Maluma was top of the list,” Lopez said of the search to find the hottest international star, someone who was making music and could possibly act rather than find an actor who could fake being a singer, which “is sometimes not the best.”
As for Jennifer Lopez, she described playing Kat as “cathartic” if not a little meta because the character is a global superstar with many eyes monitoring her search for love. “She’s finding her perfect match but not what people would think is her perfect match,” she said.
The producers found a match for concert sequences in Madison Square Garden in part because Maluma was already scheduled to perform at the iconic New York City venue. So, they made use of the full audience for a sequence that didn’t quite go according to plan due to a technical hiccup. “The teleprompter didn’t work,” Maluma explained. “She came out — this beautiful queen over there. I was like, ‘Let’s do this.’ I was sure it was working but it was off. No one actually noticed.”
She's a world-famous reality star with a multi-million dollar business empire, a global social media following, and direct access to the president of the United States. And Kim Kardashian West has done this all by making herself a brand, a move that is almost unprecedented in the world of celebrity.
Kardashian first gained media attention as a friend and stylist of Paris Hilton but received wider notice after a 2002 sex tape, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, with her then-boyfriend Ray J was released in 2007. In recent years, Kardashian has focused on her own businesses by founding KKW Beauty and KKW fragrance in 2017.
