Luther Campbell Sued for Back Child Support

Luther Campbell is being sued by his baby mama for $40,000 in back child support, even though the child in question is now 20 years old. Davania Branch Burns, a 41-year-old fire inspector, and her 20-year-old daughter, Lutheria Campbell, live near Orlando and Davania's lawyer says, "'We want him to stand up and not be a deadbeat daddy. He needs to do the right thing. He needs to take care of his child. Why should he not pay? The ordinary working man has to pay." Drivers with delinquent support obligations can have their license suspended under Florida law. Davania has filed court papers requesting that be done until Uncle Luke pays what he owes her daughter.

Uncle Luke Loses 50 Cent Lawsuit

Everybody knows the only reason 50 cent was said
"It's ya birthday", is because of Uncle Luke.

But a Judge judge in Miami dismissed the copyright infringement
suit Luke brought against 50 Cent for saying "it's ya birthday"
at the beginning of "In Da Club".
The judge ruled the phrase a "common, unoriginal, and
noncopyrightable element of the song" and not
entitled to copyright protection.
