Watch Texas’ Sharleen Spiteri join Wu-Tang Clan on stage in Glasgow
Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri joined Wu-Tang Clan onstage during their recent performance in Scotland – view footage of the moment below, along with the full setlist.The band took to the stage at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena on Monday (June 12), as part of their ongoing ‘N.Y. State Of Mind’ tour.Towards the end of their 24-song set, the band surprised fans with a guest appearance from Spiteri with the Texas singer joining them onstage for a rendition of ‘Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)’ — a track which she re-worked with the hip-hop group in 1998.The moment also marked nearly 25 years since Wu-Tang Clan and Spiteri first joined forces to collaborate on the track, which occurred when she passed the song ‘Say What You Want’ – taken from the Scottish rock band’s 1997 album ‘White On Blonde’ – to RZA to mix and finalise the recording.Eventually, the two ended up making an official collaboration of the track, and named the remixed version ‘Say What You Want (All Day, Every Day)’.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s son reportedly named after Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA
Rihanna‘s and A$AP Rocky‘s first-born child has reportedly finally been revealed.According to the Daily Mail – who claim to have obtained the child’s birth certificate – Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have reportedly named their year-old son RZA Athelston Mayers, seemingly after Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA.Daily Mail have also shared an image of the birth certificate, seemingly confirming the child’s name, date of birth and parents’ names.Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their son in May last year and have kept his name under wraps ever since, though Rihanna has been seen donning Wu-Tang and RZA clothing multiple times in the past year.Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have yet to comment on the legitimacy of their son’s name.A$AP Rocky – real name Rakim Mayers – has been vocal in the past about Wu-Tang Clan’s influence on his music, and even released a song titled ‘Wu-Tang Forever’ in 2016 with Drake.Earlier this year, while performing for the Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna revealed that she is currently pregnant with her second child. That show – Rihanna’s first performance in five years – has since become the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance ever, overtaking previous title-holder Katy Perry’s 2015 showcase.Last month, it was announced that Rihanna will voice Smurfette in an upcoming Smurfs movie from Paramount, due for release in 2025.

Martin Shkreli has been released early from prison
Wu-Tang Clan‘s ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’ for $2million (£1.4m), has been released early from prison.Shkreli was serving a seven-year sentence after being found guilty of securities fraud following claims he defrauded investors in former hedge funds in 2017.Upon his incarceration, the US government seized ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’ and sold it on to a new buyer last year.But today (May 18) his lawyer Ben Brafman confirmed that Shkreli has been released.“I am pleased to report that Martin Shkreli has been released from Allenwood prison and transferred to a BOP halfway house after completing all programs that allowed for his prison sentence to be shortened,” he said in a statement to The Washington Post. In 2020, Shkreli was denied an early release from prison after he petitioned to be let out so he could continue the “significant research” he’d be conducting into finding a vaccine for coronavirus.But the judge described his attempt at a shortened sentence to be another example of the “delusional self-aggrandising behaviour” that he often exhibits, while also citing the few number of COVID-19 cases at Shkreli’s prison, and his lack of a pre-existing condition that would make him more likely to catch the virus.Earlier this year, he was barred from the drug industry and ordered to return the $64.6million (£47.2million) in profits that he made by price-gouging the drug Daraprim in 2015.Meanwhile, shortly after Shkreli’s incarceration, RZA said he had attempted to reclaim the CD copy of ‘Once Upon A Time…’.Although the album was never released to the public, Shkreli did play clips of it during a live-stream in 2017.

Listen to RZA and DJ Scratch’s anthemic new single ‘Fate Of The World’
RZA and DJ Scratch have released their new single ‘Fate Of The World’ – you can hear the track below.The song is taken from the pair’s forthcoming collaborative album ‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater’, which is set for release on March 4 via 36 Chambers ALC/MNRK Music Group.After sharing the video for its title track earlier this month, RZA and DJ Scratch’s ‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater’ is now being previewed by its latest single ‘Fate Of The World’.The Danny Hastings and RZA-produced video for the song, starring RZA himself, has also been released, which you can see below.‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater’, which can be pre-ordered here, is described as “a love letter to the kung fu movies that aired each Saturday on local TV channels when there were only 5 channels to choose from”, and will see RZA “sparring with Bobby Digital, his more aggressive alter-ego”.“Lyrically the hip-hop part of me had a chance to re-emerge during quarantine,” RZA recently said in a press release announcing the album.“Giving Scratch the reins as a producer and me taking the reins as an MC, that’s what frees me up creatively and lets me play more with lyrical gags and lyrical flows because I don’t have to be focused on everything.” Last month the US government shared a series of new photos of Wu-Tang Clan‘s one-of-a-kind album, ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’.

Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s widow sues Wu-Tang Clan over alleged unpaid royalties
Ol’ Dirty Bastard has sued Wu-Tang Clan, alleging years of unpaid royalties to the late rapper’s estate.ODB, real name Russell Tyrone Jones, was a founding member of the Wu-Tang. He passed away in November 2004 at the age of 35 following an accidental drug overdose.Icelene Jones, ODB’s widow and the sole executor of his estate, has now taken legal action against Wu-Tang Clan, alleging that the late rapper’s estate is owed at least $1million (£737,565) in unpaid royalties (via Variety).Jones alleges in the suit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court yesterday (February 8), that Wu-Tang Clan Productions – which is owned and operated by RZA – did not pay royalties to ODB’s estate between 2011 and July 2021, when it sent a cheque for $130,000 (£95,000).While ODB’s estate also received some payments in 2019 and 2020 from Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp., the suit claims that the two combined payments fell well short of what they are owed.The complaint cites a 1992 recording agreement, which states that ODB was to be paid 50 per cent of net earnings from publishing and recording royalties, as well as merchandising and videos.The suit further alleges that ODB’s estate has not been granted detailed accounting statements, despite repeated requests for accountings and payments over the last decade.Jones’ suit alleges breach of contract and is seeking damages of at least $1 million, as well as interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.

RZA files lawsuit targeting Wu-Tang Clan bootleggers for trademark infringement
RZA has filed a lawsuit against numerous e-commerce store operators for selling bootleg Wu-Tang Clan merchandise featuring the hip-hop collective’s distinctive logo.As Complex reports, the Wu-Tang leader accuses the stores of trademark infringement, counterfeiting and false designation of origin.In legal documents, RZA accuses the bootleggers of “[deceiving] unknowing consumers by using the Wu-Tang Clan Trademarks without authorization”, attracting those searching the web for Wu-Tang merchandise and leading them to believe the items sold are genuine.“Other e-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases omit using the Wu-Tang Clan Trademarks in the item title to evade enforcement efforts while using strategic item titles and descriptions that will trigger their listings when consumers are searching for Wu-Tang Clan products,” the filing reads.With legal action, RZA is hoping to prevent bootleggers from being able to continue selling unauthorised merchandise, and is asking online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay and AliExpress to cease promoting bootleggers’ stores through their platforms.Additionally, the rapper is seeking either all profits from the bootleg merch along with damages for trademark infringement, or to be awarded $2million for “each and every use” of Wu-Tang trademarks by the unauthorised sellers.
