Shepard Fairey is America’s darling, ever since that Obama ‘HOPE’ poster. The AP looked like jerks when they complained about him stealing their photo. But! Fairey will sue your ass for stealing his brand, quick.

See, if you try to sell anything featuring the word “Obey” you are totally stealing from Shepard Fairey, and he will instruct his attorneys to send you a threatening cease and desist letter, because he keeps shit real like that. Some guy in Pittsburgh sells little baby Steeler mascots with the phrase “Obey Steeler Baby.” Shepard Fairey demands that he stop infringing on his trademark, which he originally made famous by ripping off the image of Andre the Giant!

The notice came as a surprise to [the Steelerbaby artist]. For one thing, he says, Steelerbaby’s line didn’t pose much of a threat to Fairey. According to cafepress.com, Werner had made less than $70 in the previous three months for the sale of 16 items, 10 of which had “Obey” written on them.

I managed Coolio for five years from when he lived in Nickerson gardens projects in Watts untill approx a month after he won his grammy for Gangsters Paradise.  The above picture  was in fact from a Bday function i had at Smashbox in Culver City. Now I know that he had previously been addicted to crack in fact Tommy Boy promoted it as part of “his story” but to my knowledge he never used any thing like that when I worked with him. Now we are talking about someone who was battling with Snoop and Redman to be the rapper who smoled the most weed in the game but crack…like whoa.

We’re told the rapper was going through a security screening to get to his Southwest Airlines flight when a screener found crack cocaine on his person.

Sources close to the situation tell us Coolio — real name Artis Leon Ivey, Jr — got physical with the screener at some point during the incident.

He’s being held on $10,000 bail.

UPDATE — It looks like Coolio was headed to Tulsa, Okla. to play a gig tonight at the Flytrap Music Hall.
