The 2022 incursion in the big old battle of the shoes continues, with the US Second Circuit appeals court agreeing to fast-track an appeal filed in relation to Tyga’s Wavy Baby trainers because, you know, free speech and the very fundamental essence of the First Amendment of the American constitution are definitely under threat here.I mean, if there was one thing the founding fathers were very clear on it was that rappers and their quirky business partners should be allowed to display their wavy shoes in public, and no trademark laws passed by pesky Congress should ever get in the fucking way of that.So, yes, this is the latest rapper-and-shoe-based legal battle involving MSCHF, the New York-based company that specialises in, well, mischief. Last year the legal sparring was with Nike which took offence at MSCHF and Lil Nas X partnering on the Satan Shoes.That project involved messing with some Nike trainers in a satanic way in a bid to piss off as many conservative christians as possible.

A New York appeals court has overturned a ruling made last year in the ongoing defamation legal battle between Kesha and producer Dr Luke which would make it harder for the latter to prove that he was defamed by the former, while also opening him up to a damages claim.That original ruling last year was based on new free speech laws in New York state, but the appeals court said last week that those new rules should not be applied retroactively so that they impact on active disputes.Luke’s defamation lawsuit against Kesha is all that remains of a long-running, multi-layered and quite complicated legal battle between the two former musical collaborators.At the heart of the wider legal battle was Kesha’s allegation of rape against Luke. He denies that allegation, and in turn alleges that she only made that claim in a bid to force his hand in contract negotiations.

Kesha could have her legal fees pay by Dr Luke should his defamation claim against her fail.The decision, which was issued by the court on Thursday (March 10), said that a new law introduced in 2020 to help clients pay court fees could not be applied retrospectively.It means that even if Kesha should win her long-running case against Dr Luke, the musician cannot make Dr Luke pay her legal fees.The court ruled that  “there is insufficient evidence supporting the conclusion that the legislature intended its 2020 amendments to the anti-strategic lawsuit against public participation (anti-SLAPP) law… to apply retroactively to pending claims such as the defamation claims asserted by plaintiffs in this action.”In a statement to Rolling Stone, Kesha’s lawyers said: “Today’s opinion is manifestly erroneous and contrary to the conclusion reached by approximately 20 other courts. We will promptly seek Court of Appeals review.”A post shared by Kesha (@iiswhoiis)In a cryptic Instagram post later on, Kesha added: “When you’re not allowed to say anything and there are no words anyways.”The ruling marks the latest development in the pairs lengthy ongoing legal feud, which began when Kesha initially sued the producer, real name Lukasz Gottwald, in 2014 and claimed he had sexually assaulted and emotionally abused her.Dr.
