Donald Glover responds to critiques of Atlanta’s third season in new interview

In a profile published today, Donald Glover gave GQ’s Mark Anthony Green his take on the generally lukewarm, sometimes angry public attitude toward the third season of Atlanta. The season, which aired in March 2022, six months before the premiere of the series’ fourth and final series (which received a much more favorable critical response), was an experimental endeavor. Set in Europe and regularly exploring tangential storylines, it often meandered far afield from the show’s central plot.

Chloe Bailey says reaction to ‘Swarm’ sex scene was “blown out of proportion”

Judge dismisses song theft lawsuit against Childish Gambino

A US judge last week dismissed a song theft lawsuit filed against Childish Gambino which claimed that his 2018 hit ‘This Is America’ ripped off an earlier track called ‘Made In America’.The choruses of the two songs are not “substantially similar”, despite what that lawsuit claimed, the judge ruled, while the “distinctive flow” of the earlier work is not protected by copyright.Miami-based rapper Kidd Wes – real name Emelike Nwosuocha – sued Childish Gambino – aka Donald Glover, of course – in 2021, claiming that ‘This Is America’ lifted from his 2016 release ‘Made In America’.“The distinctive flow” heard in Glover’s track, the lawsuit stated, “is unmistakably substantially similar, if not practically identical, to the distinct and unique flow that was employed by Nwosuocha in recording his vocal performance of his rapping of the hook to his copyrighted work”.“The lyrical theme, content, and structure of the identically-performed choruses are also glaringly similar”, the lawsuit then added.Glover responded to the lawsuit last September seeking to have Nwosuocha’s legal action dismissed.

Copyright lawsuit over Childish Gambino’s ‘This Is America’ dismissed

2021 lawsuit against Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) over the alleged copyright infringement of ‘This Is America’ has officially been dismissed.Late last week, Manhattan judge Victor Marrero dismissed Kidd West’s (real name Emelike Nwosuocha) lawsuit, saying his 2016 track ‘Made In America’ was “not substantially similar” to Childish Gambino’s hit 2018 track ‘This Is America’, per a Billboard report.Documents from the lawsuit – filed in 2021 – saw Nwosuocha seeking a trial and damages from profit for the alleged infringement across 43 categories, including record sales, downloads, streaming revenue, merchandising and more.“A cursory comparison with the challenged composition reveals that the content of the choruses is entirely different and not substantially similar,” judge Marrero said, also noting that Nwosuocha’s lyrics were deemed a “short, simple, self-aggrandizing proclamation” while Glover’s lyrics were based on “what America means and how it is perceived,” ruling out any similarity based on lyrics.Judge Marrero also pointed out that Nwosuocha had failed to obtain a compositional copyright registration: “Even if Nwosuocha had a copyright registration for the composition of Plaintiff’s Composition, however, dismissal would be warranted here because the elements of Plaintiff’s Composition purportedly infringed upon are insufficiently original to warrant protection, or because they are not substantially similar to the Challenged Composition”.“More could be said on the ways these songs differ, but no more airtime is needed to resolve this case,” judge Victor Marrero added.Nwosuocha’s attorneys, Imran H. Ansari and La’Shawn N.

Is ‘Swarm’ Based on a True Story? Here Are the Connections to Beyoncé and Real Murders

William Earl This article contains spoilers for “Swarm.” The first image of the debut episode of the serial killer series “Swarm” is a spin on classic Hollywood disclaimer language: “Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is intentional.” It’s a provocative start to the kaleidoscopic pop culture satire, created by Janine Nabers and Donald Glover and starring Dominique Fishback as Dre, a woman so obsessed with pop singer Ni’Jah that she’d kill to defend her honor. Given the bloodshed and not-so-subtle parallels between Ni’Jah and the career and passionate fanbase of Beyoncé, it’s easy to believe there could have been a real-life cross-country serial killer murdering those who dare take Queen Bey’s name in vain. But what’s the reality behind the purported true story of “Swarm”?
