McDonald’s has officially been ordered to stand trial in the $10 billion discrimination lawsuit brought forth by media mogul Byron Allen, Reuters reports. As previously reported by AfroTech, the suit accuses the fast-food chain of “racial stereotyping” by excluding Black-owned media from its advertising. As of Friday (Sept. 16), U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin gave Allen the greenlight to attempt to prove that McDonald’s violated both federal and California rights by saying that his networks were not eligible for the “vast majority” of its advertising dollars.
When it’s your time, it’s your time. As previously reported by AfroTech, Pusha T’s feud with fast-food company McDonald’s first began to brew after he wrote its “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle in 2003 with his brother, No Malice, in which they weren’t adequately compensated.

The beef between Pusha T and McDonald’s has recently resurfaced in quite an interesting turn of events. The rapper’s feud with the fast-food company first began to brew after he wrote its “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle in 2003 with his brother, No Malice, in which they weren’t adequately compensated. Justin Timberlake was reportedly paid $6 million for recording the hit. Now, according to Rolling Stone, Pusha T is getting the last laugh after the foul deal on his end of a one-time fee but no royalties. On March 21, Arby’s aired its commercial “Spicy Fish Diss,” bars courtesy of the Virginia emcee. The ad is for the sandwich company’s marketing purposes, but the shots fired are a bit more personal for him.
Sometimes the American dream is what you make it. For Nicole Enearu and her family, that dream has paid off. When the word “changemaker” comes to mind, one’s mind may go to the person who is out and about making things happen in the community.

As previously reported by AfroTech, Enearu and her family have managed to successfully open 13 McDonald’s franchises, generating nearly $50 million in revenue and employing more than 700 people in the community. The impact that this has had on her family is one thing, but for the community — it’s a whole different story.
