When Drake told his 21 million Twitter followers that he did not support or have anything to do with a new documentary entitled "Drake's Homecoming: The Lost Footage," it caused irreparable damage, according to the film's distributor.
Specticast is now suing Drake for disavowing the film, which opens Thursday, March 19. According to TMZ, the company believes the Young Money artist did it to draw attention to his upcoming OVO Fest because he started to promote it on the social networking site after making the announcement.
The film features interviews with Jas Prince, the man who discovered Drake and footage from a 2009 concert in Toronto.
Both Jas and his father James Prince stand behind Drizzy's decision to pull his support.
This will ultimately be settled by a judge unless some sort of out of court deal is reached.

Mac Miller will have to put his lawyers to work to fight off a copyright infringement lawsuit by '70s soul/funk band Aquarian Dream.
Mac is being accused of using the band's song "Yesterday (Was So Nice Today)" without permission to create his own tune entitled "Faces."
TMZ reports that Aquarian Dream's reps reached out to Miller's people and were told that Mac had tried to contact them to clear the sample, but was unable to speak to anyone so he used it anyway.
The band's singer Jacques Burvick says they are asking a judge to award them $150,000 in damages.

The family of a mentally ill man shot and killed by two Dallas police officers are accusing the two cops of wrongdoing.
39-year-old Jason Harrison was holding a screwdriver that officers John Rogers and Andrew Hutchins deemed a lethal weapon. Within seconds of being confronted Harrison was laying face down, bleeding to death from multiple gunshots.
The incident occurred on June 14, 2014. The video, which was shot by one of the officer's body cam, has just been released by Harrison's family because they have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against both officers, claiming Harrison's civil rights were violated, according to Vice News.
Police were initially called to the residence by Harrison's mom, Shirley Marshall Harrison, who said her son was off of his bi-polar and schizophrenia medication. His erratic behavior alarmed her.
When officers Rogers and Hutchins arrived on the scene Harrison's mother opened the door and told them her son was "bi-polar" and "schizo" as she walked past them. Harrison soon appeared in the doorway behind her holding a screwdriver.
Both officers told Harrison to drop the screwdriver. Within seconds they drew their weapons and began firing, claiming he lunged at them.
Opinions by experts differ on whether the cops were justified in their actions.
“It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Cecile Tebo, the former commander of the New Orleans Police Department’s Crisis Intervention Team, told The Dallas Morning News. “That was handled very poorly.”
“They did an absolutely perfect job,” said Keith Wenzel, a retired Dallas Police Department trainer. “There’s a lot of danger. He could take the screwdriver and put it right into the officer’s eye in less than a second. I would be very critical if the officer used a Taser."
Rogers and Hutchins remain on active duty.

Let every city in the world take a look at whats happening in Ferguson. Everything about this whole situation is wrong from the begining. It started off a shame the way the black community destroyed their own neiborhood that they reside in which also helped to make it easier for prosecutors not to have officer Darren Wilson locked up.
Someone need to give the people supervision, or let them hear something that they need to hear instead of turning on the news everyday and seeing another unarmed teenager shot to death. They need to get a better understanding that attacking police officers gets no support by the people they need support from.
We got a dose of the first protest with Trayvon Martin. Civil rights leaders and parents of teenager attend protests over acquittal of George Zimmerman in Florida trial. Although Zimmerman was cleared on charges, the community in over 100 cities still used peaceful protests to get their statement out. Trayvon Martin's mother choked back tears as a crowd of 2000 New Yorkers chanted We love you.
The actions that are being taken in Ferguson is starting to make the black community look bad as a whole. We now have college student not wanting minorities at their schools, songs and chants are being created that uses the nigger word in it, etc. Do anyone see where this is headed? Their is too much hate from both the race sides that still lives within our communities today.
Now the chief of police has resigned in Ferguson, and behind his resignation, two police officers are shot hours later in a protest that was dying down. I don't know what the motive was behind the shooting or what caused it, but i'm sure this is going to escalade into worst actions than before.
Isabel Eugene, 16, who also attended the rally in Miami, said: “Before Trayvon Martin, we took precautions, but now it's worse. Not just with the police killing minorities, but also with minorities and protestors handling it the wrong way. In some cases, its not good for us to take the upper hand. At some point and time, I hope this all comes to a cease.

TUNIS, Tunisia (Associated Press) — Attackers opened fire Wednesday at a major museum in Tunisia's capital, gunning down 17 tourists as dozens more sprinted to safety. At least 21 people in all were killed, including two gunmen, but some attackers may have escaped, authorities said.
The attack on the famed National Bardo Museum in Tunis was the first on a tourist site in years in Tunisia, a shaky young democracy that has struggled to keep Islamic extremist violence at bay.
It wasn't clear who the attackers were but security forces immediately flooded the area. Tunisia's parliament building, next to the museum, was evacuated.
Private television Wataniya showed masked Tunisian security forces escorting dozens of tourists up nearby steps and away from the danger, as armed security forces pointed guns toward an adjacent building. Many elderly people, apparently tourists, ran in panic to safety, including at least one couple carrying two children.
Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid said 21 people were killed: 17 tourists, two gunmen, a Tunisian security officer and a Tunisian cleaning woman. He said the dead tourists came from Italy, Poland, Germany and Spain.
He said two or three of the attackers remained at large.
Several other people were reported wounded in the attack, including three Poles and at least two Italians. The Italian Foreign Ministry said 100 other Italians had been taken to a secure location.
Some of the Italians at the museum were believed to have been passengers aboard the Costa Fascinosa, a cruise liner making a seven-day trip of the western Mediterranean that had docked in Tunis. Ship owner Costa Crociere confirmed that some of its 3,161 passengers were visiting the capital Wednesday and that a Bardo tour was on the itinerary, but said it couldn't confirm how many passengers were in the museum at the time.
The cruise ship recalled all the passengers to the ship and was in touch with local authorities and the Italian Foreign Ministry.
Wednesday's attack was a strong blow to Tunisia's efforts to revive its crucial tourism industry.
The National Bardo Museum, built in a 15th-century palace, is the largest museum in Tunisia and houses one of the world's largest collections of Roman mosaics among its 8,000 works. The museum is near the North African nation's parliament, 4 kilometers (2 ½ miles) from the city center. A new wing with contemporary architecture was built as part of a 2009 renovation, doubling the surface area.
"It is not by chance that today's terrorism affects a country that represents hope for the Arab world. The hope for peace, the hope for stability, the hope for democracy. This hope must live," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in a statement minutes after the crisis ended.
Speaking at the Louvre museum to call for international efforts to preserve the heritage of Iraq and Syria against extremist destruction, French President Francois Hollande said he had called the Tunisian president to offer support and solidarity.
"Each time a terrorist crime is committed, we are all concerned," Hollande said.
Tunisia recently completed a rocky road to democracy after overthrowing its authoritarian president in 2011, seen by many as the start of the so-called Arab Spring. The country has been more stable than other countries in the region, but has struggled with violence by Islamic extremists in recent years, including some linked to the Islamic State group. It also has extremists linked to al-Qaida's North Africa arm who occasionally target Tunisian security forces.
A disproportionately large number of Tunisian recruits — some 3,000, according to government estimates — have joined Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq.
The American Embassy in Tunis was attacked in September 2012, seriously damaging the embassy grounds and an adjoining American school. Four of the assailants were killed. Overall, though, the violence that Tunisia has seen in recent years has been largely focused on security forces, not foreigners or tourist sites.
The attack comes the day after Tunisian security officials confirmed the death in neighboring Libya of a leading suspect in Tunisian terror attacks and in the killings of two opposition figures in Tunisia.
Ahmed Rouissi gained the nickname of the "black box of terrorism." The information on his death was made public by security officials giving testimony in parliament and cited by the official TAP news agency.
Libya, which has devolved into chaos, is a source of major concern for Tunisia.
Also a major worry is the Mount Chaambi area on the border with Algeria where al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb has reportedly been helping a Tunisian group which has killed numerous soldiers.

Kanye West has been booked as a headliner for the British music festival, Glastonbury. The only problem is some fans don't want him there.
A Change.org petition has been started in an attempt to stop West's March 21st performance and have him replaced by a rock band.
As of this report, more than 36,000 people have signed the petition that reads:
Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.
Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music....he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!
Lets prevent this musical injustice now!
West has not commented publicly on the petition. Expect him to take the stage Saturday as planned. He has the full support of the event's co-organizer, Emily Eavis, and her father Michael Eavis.
