Heat waves have become more frequent over the years, with hot seasons lasting 46 days longer now than they did in the 1960s, according to data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Sizzling temperatures may be great for travel, but the sun also makes it easier for your smartphone to overheat, which can lead to damage down the road, like your phone automatically shutting down or, worse, ceasing to work entirely.

PHOOZY Thermal Phone Case

For those who don’t want to part with their current phone case, this thermal pouch will provide cooling effects without have to snap off your statement-making cover. What’s notable about the design is its spacesuit-inspire material, which can reflect more than 90% of the heat from the sun away from your device, according to the official product description. There are two sizes to choose from: medium or large, and it’s compatible with both iPhones and Samsung devices for added versatility.

Does a Heat Dissipation Phone Case Work?

While the phone case won’t fully prevent your phone from overheating, the cooling materials (from silicone and Thermoplastic Polyurethane-made cases) will help regulate your device’s temperature and help prevent it from reaching concerning heat levels. The main purpose of a heat dissipation phone case is to regulate the heat by providing airflow and heat-wicking materials to decrease the temperature of your phone.

In addition to providing a layer of protection to your phone, you can also prevent overheating by not leaving your phone out in direct sunlight or in your car on a hot day. Apple warns that smart devices that go over 95 degrees can be at risk for damage.

It’s a busy first half of July for Eminem, who is delivering a second single and “Houdini” follow-up with “Tobey” on Wednesday (July 3) featuring fellow Detroit natives Big Sean and Babytron. A Cole Bennett-directed visual to the Tobey Maguire-inspired track will be released on Friday (July 5).

Spanish Society of Authors & Publishers Fined Nearly $7M for Anti-Competitive Behavior

The Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers (abbreviated SGAE in Spanish) has been fined 6.38 million euros (more than $6.9 million, using the average 2023 conversion rate) by the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) for anti-competitive practices related to its licensing deals with radio and TV stations.

SGAE has been fined for “two infractions of abuse of dominant position” by designing and applying its licensing rates in a manner that forces radio and TV operators to accept an “averaged availability rate” (comparable to a flat rate) to be able to use its repertoire, according to a CNMC press release on Wednesday (June 26).

The widespread application of the flat rate by the Spanish collecting society “has had a double anti-competitive effect,” the CNMC says. The first effect, which the CNMC refers to as “exploitative abuse,” results from SGAE’s practice of forcing licensees to pay the flat rate “unrelated to the actual use they make of their repertoire, both in terms of the number of works and the intensity of their use,” according to the release, which states this practice has been ongoing since “at least” Jan. 1, 2016.

Trending on Billboard

Because licensees are forced to pay the flat rate regardless of the extent of their use of SGAE’s repertoire, the CNMC adds, licensees’ incentives to contract with SGAE competitors with less substantial repertoires are limited — a second anti-competitive effect that hinders “the entry and expansion” of those competitors in the marketplace.

According to the CNMC, SGAE “enhanced” the latter effect — which it says SGAE instituted from “at least” Jan. 1, 2016, through Dec. 31, 2017 — by “presenting its musical repertoire to users as universal and offering guarantees of indemnity against possible claims by third parties for the use of rights that do not belong to its repertoire.” The CNMC argues this further limited incentives for licensees to contract with SGAE competitors.

In addition to fines, SGAE has been ordered to cease these behaviors.

Investigations into SGAE began after complaints were made by audiovisual media copyright entities Management Entity (Dama) and Unison Rights, S.L. (Unison), the release states.

Billboard reached out to SGAE but had not heard back by press time.

Earlier this year, Billboard reported SGAE’s intentions to improve its reputation under new CEO Cristina Perpiñá-Robert, who was appointed a little more than a year ago.

“SGAE is one of the world’s leading CMOs, with a crucial role to play for its members,” Perpiñá-Robert previously said. “This year is our 125th anniversary, which is a chance to celebrate what we’ve achieved but also highlight where we need to reform. I’m determined that SGAE should achieve a greater presence internationally.”

Last year, SGAE took in 349.1 million euros ($377.8 million, based on the 2023 average conversion rate) and distributed 354.1 million euros ($383.2 million), according to its 2023 financial results, while the number of members with authors rights grew from 36,956 to 83,148.

Nicki Minaj Blasts Former Manager for Trying to Squash Lil’ Kim Beef Without Her Consent

Nicki Minaj took to X on Sunday to put her former manager Debra Antney on blast with a lengthy tweet.

Antney, who also happens to be Waka Flocka Flame’s mother, was recently on the Opinionated Truths podcast where she was asked if she were willing to arrange a sit-down between Minaj and her well-documented foes Lil’ Kim and Cardi B. “I think that we all would love to see that, but people would have to be willing to do that,” she replied. “To be perfectly honest with you — she’s gonna kill me for even saying this — but I did reach out to Kim.”

She then shook her head as to say Kim wasn’t receptive to the idea.

Well, she was right, because Nicki set the record straight on X, saying she didn’t ask her ex-manager to say a thing.

Read her full statement below:

“Deb, Isn’t it funny how you left out the biggest part of the story? I didn’t ask you to do a THING!

“You told me AFTER THE FACT & I SCREAMED ON YOU & told you if you reach out to ppl now that you’re being seen around me, they will THINK it’s coming FROM ME so to NEVER do that again w/o discussing it with me FIRST. I said I’d never want that & that now she’d think that message came from me which is not cool.

“So yea… You laughed it off & said her & foxy should come out I said no. I’d only want foxy to come out on stage with me, she’s like family to me. No disrespect. God bless everyone & our children!!! Let us all do our thing & thank God for LIFE. Stop using my name for clickbait in 2024. We get it!!!!! I’m dat btch!!!!!!

“How dare you? Interviews? Chiiiiiiiiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!! This world, man, this world.”

Nicki and Kim have been going back and forth since 2010, when the Pink Friday rapper seemingly took shots at the Queen B on “Roman’s Revenge.” Lil’ Kim then responded to those jabs with the diss track “Black Friday,” and the rest, as they say, is history.

Antney managed Minaj for a good part of her early career, and the two still seem to be on good terms. Deb was spotted with Nicki multiple times during the Pink Friday 2 Tour.

Ye Sued by Former Yeezy Employees Over ‘Discrimination’ & ‘Intolerable Harassment’ Claims

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) is facing yet another lawsuit. West along with his Yeezy brand and former head of staff Milo Yiannopoulos were sued by eight alleged former employees, who claim they were “subjected to intolerable harassment and discrimination.”

The sprawling lawsuit was filed in district court with the Central District of California on Saturday (June 29) and has been viewed by Billboard. A portion of the plaintiffs claim they were minors as young as 14 years old while working at Yeezy.

Plaintiffs ranging from ages 14 to 25 came from across the United States and other countries such as the United Kingdom, Hungary and Nigeria to work at Yeezy.

Trending on Billboard

However, the plaintiffs said they overworked for “inhuman” hours in a segregated working environment where Black and African employees were separated and given “less favorable” work assignments.

Various plaintiffs were tasked with building Ye’s scrapped YZY Porn venture. Minors claim they were exposed to pornographic images pertaining to the x-rated endeavor.

Around April 27, 2024, one employee alleges that Ye’s wife Bianca Censori shared a link to “hardcore pornography” with them slated to be part of the YZY Porn app.

A plaintiff known in the docs as “John Doe 1” claims he was exposed to pornographic images which were disseminated in group chats as part of the team’s communication channels. Another plaintiff who kept their identity hidden is listed as “John Doe 2” in the lawsuit and claims they were subjected to a “highly inappropriate and distressing work environment.”

“Our team looks forward to achieving justice on behalf of our very deserving clients for the
shocking working environment that they were forced to endure,” said Ben Lockyer of Lockyer
Law LLC.

Jordanna Thigpen of Thigpen Legal added: “Discrimination is intolerable anywhere, anytime. We believe a jury will agree that these employers must be accountable.”

All eight former Yeezy employees claim they were not paid for their work during their time working for Ye.

The legal activity has been mounting for Ye in recent months. He was hit with a sexual assault lawsuit in June by former assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who claimed she faced a “systematic” onslaught of sexual harassment and was sent graphic text messages from the “Good Life” rapper.

West settled another suit in June related to his Vultures album when he reached an agreement with Donna Summers’ estate to resolve a copyright lawsuit that accused him of interpolating her 1977 hit “I Feel Love” without permission in his song “Good (Don’t Die).”

Billboard has reached out to Ye’s reps for comment.
