Caitlyn Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY awards. CNN's Don Lemon spoke to Eden Lane about the significance of this award.
**UPDATE** July 17
TMZ caught up with D.L. Hughley to get his take on Caitlyn Jenner and the ESPYs. The actor/comedian didn't bite his tongue.
"[The Award] is named after Arthur Ashe. He fought a segregated South, was in a very segregated profession with dignity and honor. Caitlyn Jenner put on a dress. I don't think it's the same thing. Arthur Ashe and Caitlyn Jenner have nothing in common" Hugley said.
D.L. believes Lauren Hill (the college basketball player who passed away this year from cancer) should have won

When you say that Rotimi's "got next," that statement has multiple meanings. The multi-talented G-Unit artist is on the verge of having both the acting and R&B game on lock.
He recently had the honor of performing at S.O.B's as a part of BET's Music Matters series.
“S.O.B.'s is a legendary venue, so being invited to perform there is an honor in itself,” Rotimi told BET.com following the show. “I’m blessed to be a part of all the dope talent that’s come out of [the] BET Music Matters series.”
Check out the BET.com article below written by Calvin Stovall.
New York City’s S.O.B.’s stage has been the proving ground for countless stars throughout the years, including J. Cole, Drake and Kanye West. Last night’s BET Music Matters showcase packed the Manhattan club to capacity with fans eager to see a new star, recent G-Unit Records signee Rotimi, rise to the occasion.
The multi-talented New Jersey native has been working tirelessly to become a jack-of-all-trades in the entertainment world since his 2009 single “Beautiful Music” impacted overseas on African and European charts. He’s since landed acting roles in the hit Starz series Boss and Power, striking bonds with co-stars T.I. and 50 Cent along the way.
The cast of Starz hit show Power was in the building to support their co-star, along with many of the Maplewood, N.J. native’s hometown fans. Rotimi wowed the crowd with polished vocals and dance numbers, performing an impressive 20-minute set that included his new single with 50 Cent, “Lotto.”
Music Matters host Rodney Rikai reminisced to the crowd about the time he spent coaching a young Rotimi on Columbia High School’s basketball team, emphasizing how proud he was to see his longtime mentee’s phenomenal progression and work ethic. Joseph Sikora, who plays alongside Rotimi as Tommy Egan on Power, introduced his co-star to the stage as his “brother,” blaming the venue’s stifling heat on Rotimi’s fiery presence.
Rotimi shared the stage with featured Music Matters artists Lydia Caesar, Canei Finch, Finnli andTyrik Ballard; all of whom showed and proved as promising acts to pay attention to in the near future. Canei, who has already worked with J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, had the New York crowd’s heads bumping in unison with his evolved take on New York’s classic boom bap style. Caesar commanded the crowd’s full attention from the moment she grabbed the mic, flaunting superb vocals and strong stage presence that set the bar for headliner Rotimi.
The man of the hour ultimately delivered, showing humility and gratitude to the crowd and to BET and S.O.B.’s for the opportunity. “S.O.B.'s is a legendary venue, so being invited to perform there is an honor in itself,” Rotimi said to BET.com following the show. “I’m blessed to be a part of all the dope talent that’s come out of [the] BET Music Matters series.”

Cash Money Records is taking Jay Z's Tidal streaming service to court.
TMZ reports that the lawsuit stems from Tidal's streaming of Lil Wayne's Free Weezy Album. Tidal claims it obtained the rights to stream the music legally from Weezy, in return for part ownership in the company.
Birdman's lawyers say Jay Z is using Wayne in "a desperate and illegal attempt to save their struggling streaming service."
Cash Money maintains that it has exclusive rights to all of Lil Wayne's music, which Tidal's attorney's disagree with.
Birdman and company point out that Wayne's contract states that the "Lollipop" rapper doesn't have the power to sign the rights over to any of his music. Their lawyers claim FWA got "tepid reviews" that could hurt their ability to market Wayne's music in the future.
Birdman is seeking $50 million.

The Outlawz and the rest of the hip-hop world lost an important member of our family Saturday evening when Hussein Fatal was killed in a tragic car crash. "He was well-loved so this is a big blow," E.D.I. Mean tells us during this heartfelt exclusive.
E.D.I. Don (also known as EDI Mean) had just performed with Fatal three weeks ago in Ohio, and had planned to see him this week as they were set to do a show in Germany. "I'm expecting to see my brother on Thursday, and he not gon' be there," he grievously states. Fatal was killed after his girlfriend Zanetta L. Yearby crashed her car near an exit on Interstate 85 in Gainseville, GA. Though Fatal was ejected from the car, Yearby "really didn't have a scratch," according to E.D.I. "She's fine." The couple were coming from Jersey, where Fatal had just buried his uncle.
E.D.I. Mean says he received a call from Young Noble this past weekend, who was "in tears already" when he told him the fateful news. "I was on the way to the beach with my girl and the kids," he remembers. "That was the end of my day right there." He tells us Fatal's sister later identified the body and confirmed the news, something he still can't come to terms with. "When somebody dies like this it really don't hit you right away," he sadly states. "If you seen recent pictures of him he was in tip-top shape. He was on his s***...just trying to figure it all out."
In the end, E.D.I. hopes this will ultimately shine more light on his rap skills. "I want him to get his just-do as an emcee," he says of his late friend who was well-known in the streets of Jersey. "If street cred was money, he would die a rich individual...in my opinion he was the rawest n**** coming from New Jersey."
Hear more about Fatal's relationship with the slain Yaki Kadafi, and why E.D.I. is "thankful in a weird kind of way that he wasn't shot," above.

Curtis Young is the spitting image of his father, Andre "Dr Dre" Young. Curtis even grew up Compton, California like his famous pops, but he was 12-years old before finding out the news that changed his life.
"I was very protective with my mom. I'm the first born on my mom's side. I was big brother. [My mom and her boyfriend] were arguing. And I told him, 'Hey dad, ease up.' His direct words were, 'Nigga I ain't your daddy. You wanna know your daddy is? Your real daddy is Dr. Dre," Cutis recalls of finding out the news.
At the time the pre-teen was 12 years old. The now 33-year had grown up idolizing N.W.A. He was told that his mother, Cassandra Joy Greene, had him when she was 17, after dating Dre for a year.
Benny Luo of NextShark recently sat down with Curtis to get the full story.
While Dr. Dre was rising in fame and success, Young was facing the challenges of growing up on the tough streets of Compton.
“My childhood was like any childhood growing up in Compton. There was definitely a lot of trials and tribulations. Growing up in Compton, if you wanted to be a part of a gang, you can easily jump into it. But I grew up with some good friends, and we told ourselves that we definitely didn’t want to be involved with any of that. We had friends who were involved with gangs, but they went through struggles like going in and out of jail — some of them are not here with us. I wanted to do something different with my life.”
Young was dumbfounded, and for the next several years, he felt there was a void in his life. He wanted to meet his biological father, but he wasn’t allowed to.
“I wanted to meet him when I found out, but my mom was still with my father that raised me and he didn’t want Dre in my life. He told my mom, ‘I’m his dad, there ain’t no reason for him to meet him.’
It wasn’t until his parents split when he was 15 years old that Young reached out to meet his biological father. It proved to be extremely difficult to get in touch with the rap star, however.
“When I finally got in touch with his attorney’s, we took a DNA test. And of course, it came back 99.9% he is the father.”
By the time Young finally got a chance to meet his biological father, he was already 20. He recounted the first time he met his father, whom he had watched from afar for most of his childhood:
“It was definitely a crazy experience, just talking to him on the phone for the first time. You could feel the energy through the phone. I think we both were nervous.”
“It was like looking in the mirror seeing him face to face. We met at Skybar in Hollywood for the first time. It’s really indescribable. The best way to describe it is meeting your favorite basketball player or football player.”
Just that moment, it was epic. We sat down and couldn’t stop staring at each other. The first time we met, we shook hands, looked at each other, sat down. We couldn’t look at each other because we looked so much alike. There was so much tension. My mom was actually in between us, and it was just monumental.
Although he wasn’t raised by Dr. Dre, Young says that they still share profound similarities.
“In terms of character, I think we’re like the same person, except he has more life experiences than me and he’s older. Even his wife said we laugh and sound the same. I think from where we come from, we’re all about evolving and building empires.”
Many people assume Young became wealthy when it was confirmed that Dr. Dre was his father, but he’s quick to refute the assumption.
“They look at it like, ‘He must have crazy money too!’ It’s like when you walk around, you’re a target now.
I’m here to set the record straight about me being spoiled. That’s definitely not the case. I don’t ask for shit from my father. I don’t want nothing from my dad. When I met him it was different. I was a kid. He got me a car and some cash, but that was pretty much for my birthday. After that, it was really just birthdays. I wasn’t asking for handouts. I didn’t really want anything from him; I just wanted time spent with him.
I never would ask him to help me out in business. One thing he always told me was, ‘You got the name — run with it. Just by having that birthright of the name, it helped me push myself as a business person.”
Young initially released some mixtapes and went by the rap name “Hood Surgeon,” which was inspired by his father’s rap moniker. He admits that he was previously trying to sound and act too much like his father in his records, but that he eventually realized he had to become his own artist and try to step out of his father’s shadow. Now, he’s simply “Curtis Young” — with his father’s complete blessing.
Young is currently working on his upcoming album “Product of my DNA,” set for release this year, with the theme centered around his life growing up in Compton. He’s also set to star on a new Bunim/Murray-produced reality show, “Seeds of Hip Hop,” centered around the sons of pioneering rappers.

In April we reported that 2 of Lil Wayne's tour buses was shot at in Atlanta. There were no injuries, but police arrested Jimmy Winfrey a.k.a. PeeWee Roscoe, a Rich Gang affiliate, for the shooting.
Action 2 News now reports that a June indictment alleges that Winfrey, Birdman and Young Thug conspired to kill Lil Wayne at the time. All are supposedly Blood gang members.
Wayne and Birdman have been involved in a bitter dispute. The Cash Money Records co-owner has refused to release Weezy's album, Tha Carter V. Wayne says the label owes him $10 million for completing the album on time and wants to be released from his contract.
“(Young Thug) released the next album in the Carter series but changed the name to "Barter VI" by changing the ‘C’ to a ‘B,’” the indictment says.
The indictment alleges that Young Thug made a threat against Lil Wayne and tour bus shooting suspect Jimmy Winfrey carried out that threat.
The indictment goes on to say that Winfrey was driving the white Chevy Camaro that fired shots at Lil Wayne’s tour buses the night of April 26 after a police escort left the buses.
“After Atlanta Police discontinued their escort, (Winfrey) and fellow Blood Gang members entered Interstate 285 from Atlanta Road in Cobb County in pursuit of the buses occupied by (Lil Wayne’s) group,” the indictment says. “(That’s when) the white sports car pulled beside the buses, shots were then fired into the buses from the sports car with a .40 caliber handgun and a 9mm handgun.”
The indictment goes on to say Winfrey had a photo of the Camaro posted on his Instagram account and attempted to erase it following the shooting. The Camaro was later found at the home of one of Winfrey’s relatives.
Young Thug and Birdman have not been charged in the incident.
Winfrey’s next court appearance is Friday.
