Faith Evans, the R&B singer and widow of The Notorious B.I.G., has been sued for allegedly refusing to share profits from a landmark Primary Wave catalog deal with the estate of the rap icon’s late mother.

Evans faces the claims in a Delaware court petition originally filed last Wednesday (July 2) and unsealed on Tuesday (July 8). The case was brought by Wayne Barrow, a record executive who became executor of the estate of Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, upon her death in February.

The petition says Voletta managed an LLC holding Biggie’s assets after the rapper (born Christopher Wallace) was killed in 1997, up until she negotiated the “transformative” sale of half the portfolio to Primary Wave before her death. The deal, which the Wall Street Journal reported was worth $100 million, gave Primary Wave a stake in Biggie’s catalog as well as certain name, image and likeness rights.

According to the court filing, Evans became the sole manager of Biggie LLC after Voletta’s death. This allegedly makes her responsible for giving the deceased matriarch’s trust, managed by Barrow, its cut of the profits from the catalog sale.

“Ms. Evans has distributed sale proceeds to Ty’anna, CJ, and presumably to herself,” writes Barrow, referring to Biggie’s two children. “She, however, has wrongfully withheld the Trust’s [redacted] share of the proceeds, in the amount of [redacted].”

Additionally, Barrow says Evans has refused to recognize the Voletta Wallace trust as a 50% member of the holding company and has kept Barrow “entirely in the dark about the business and affairs of the LLC.”

“Ms. Evans’s actions are particularly troubling given that, unlike Mr. Barrow, she has never previously been involved in the LLC’s management,” says the petition.

Barrow is seeking a court order forcing Evans to provide the trust with its share of the Primary Wave sale proceeds, which he says will be ultimately donated to the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation.

The petition also seeks to remove Evans from her position as manager of the LLC due to her “continued misconduct and disregard for her obligations.” Barrow is asking to be named the new company manager.

A rep for Evans did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (July 9). Primary Wave, which is not named in the lawsuit nor accused of any wrongdoing, also did not return a request for comment.

Retailing for $13.99, this gentle foaming formula is crafted with a low pH so that it won’t disrupt the skin’s natural balance.

“It’s not a summer tour without a cold plunge,” Dierks Bentley wrote on his Instagram on July 8, as he gave fans an insider’s glimpse as he welcomed his tour opener Zach Top into what has become a bit of a tradition for a Bentley tour. Previous tour openers who have taken part in Bentley’s cold-plunge tradition include Riley Green, Jordan Davis, Parker McCollum and Caylee Hammack.

On his current Broken Branches Tour, Bentley dared Top to take a dip in a tub of ice water. Holding up a thermometer that read 29 degrees, Bentley said in the video, “Let’s see how Zach does this.”

“I need a fresh beer and a cigarette,” Top said, to which Bentley remarked, “The cigarette might provide some warmth…might spark the heat.”

“That’s the strategy here, Dierks,” Top said, later lighting up a fresh cig and getting into an ice-cold tub. Top didn’t have to brave the ice alone: Bentley got into his own ice-filled can.

Quickly after Top got in, holding his beer and cigarette aloft, Bentley said, “Do we have an extra bag of ice?”

“No! No more ice in mine!” Top shouted laughing and adding, “They snuck some warm water in yours.”

For his part, Top seemed right at home in the freezing temps (he is a Washington state native, after all). Bentley noted that Top also fared better than some of his previous tour openers.

“I can tell you he’s already done more than Riley Green,” Bentley said.

“Get f—ed, Riley Green!” Top said jokingly, before quickly adding, “Just kiddin’ brother, I love you.”

“Parker McCollum, you [did better] than Parker,” Bentley said.

“That doesn’t surprise me,” Top said, before Bentley added, “Travis Denning was in it for about two seconds…Jordan Davis, you’ve already smoked Jordan Davis.”

On Instagram, Bentley also added, “Zach Top took it like a champ!”

Of course, some of those previous openers had their own viewpoints in the post’s comments.

Denning wrote, “I did two-ish minutes, thank you very much!,” while Davis wrote, “I was trying to show respect to you, Dierks Bentley…didn’t want to beat you at your own game.”

Bentley’s Broken Branches tour, which takes its name from his recently-released album, continues July 10 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Tim Leiweke, one of the most accomplished CEOs in the live entertainment and facilities business, announced today that he is stepping down as CEO of Oak View Group (OVG) after being indicted by the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division for bid-rigging related to the company’s 2017 contract to build the Moody Center Arena in Austin.

On Wednesday (July 9), a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas returned an indictment against Leiweke, alleging he orchestrated a “conspiracy to rig the bidding process for an arena at a public university in Austin, Texas.” Authorities say Leiweke conspired with the chief executive of Legends Hospitality to rig the bidding for the construction and management of Austin’s $338 million, 19,000-seat Moody Center.

“As some of you may already know, the DOJ’s Antitrust Division made formal allegations against me today alleging that more than eight years ago I made an improper agreement with Legends during the selection process for the construction and management of the Moody Center at the University of Texas,” Leiweke wrote in an email to Oak View Group’s employees on Wednesday.

“It is not true, and I am confident that jurors in Austin will see this case for what it is — wrong on the facts and the law and a misguided attempt to criminalize the lawful, ethical, and procompetitive efforts of complementary businesses joining forces to deliver a compelling proposal,” Leiweke wrote.

“I have agreed with our Board of Directors that now is the right time to implement the succession plan that was already underway and transition from my role as CEO,” Leiweke continued. “I will continue to serve on our Board of Directors in the role of Vice-Chairman and will remain a shareholder of OVG.” 

Chris Granger, president of OVG360, will serve as Interim CEO.  

“As outlined in the indictment, the Defendant rigged a bidding process to benefit his own company and deprived a public university and taxpayers of the benefits of competitive bidding,” said assistant attorney general Abigail Slater in a press release. “The Antitrust Division and its law enforcement partners will continue to hold executives who cheat to avoid competition accountable.”

U.S. attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas added, “Unfair business practices, like those employed here, make it very difficult for the American people to pursue prosperity like our founders intended,” before noting, “we will do all we can to ensure those who engage in the type of conduct described in this case are held to account.”

According to the indictment, Leiweke had planned to bid on the contract to build the replacement for the University of Texas’ Frank Erwin Center in late 2017 when he learned that Legends Hospitality was also bidding on the job. According to the indictment, Leiweke wanted to “find a way to get [the competitor] some of the business” and “get them to back down,” and allegedly told colleagues he was “[m]ore than happy talking to [the competitor] about not bidding and [receiving certain subcontracts]” but had “no interest in working with them if they intend on putting in a bid.”

Sources tell Billboard that OVG and Legends originally submitted a joint bid to build and operate the Moody Center, but that Legends eventually dropped off.

“In February of 2018, Leiweke ultimately reached an agreement with the competitor’s CEO, pursuant to which the competitor agreed that it would stand down and neither submit nor join an independent competing bid for the Arena Project,” a press release from the government reads. “In exchange for the competitor’s agreement to stand down, Leiweke represented that the competitor would receive Arena Project’s subcontracts. Consistent with the bid-rigging agreement, the competitor did not submit a competing bid for the Arena Project. OVG ultimately submitted the sole qualified bid and won the Arena Project. The arena opened to the public in April 2022, and OVG continues to receive significant revenues from the project to date.”

OVG has already agreed to pay a $15 million penalty at the behest of the Department of Justice, while Legends agreed to pay $1.5 million. Leiweke is charged with a single violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a $1 million fine.

In his letter to staff, Leiweke acknowledged that OVG did reach a settlement with the DOJ, writing, “I am pleased that the company fully resolved those inquiries with no admission of fault or wrongdoing whatsoever. I am very grateful that OVG and all of you, who have worked so hard to build this Company, are free to continue our industry-leading work.”
