Logic and his team have been accused of failing to pay a non-profit for filming at its location in his “Super Mario World” video, according to IndieWire.
PortSide New York founder Carolina Salguero said she agreed to allow Logic to use the Mary A. Whalen, a 90-year-old oil tanker located in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood, for free because she was told it was for a school project.
“I looked at Logic; he’s so scrawny, I mistook for him as [a] high school student,” Salguero told IndieWire. “I thought the videographer was his dad, graying hair at the temples, and his friend was dressed in the [beat-up] Super Mario costume – I was busy and trusted I was helping high school students.”
As long as they credited Mary A. Whalen, the boat was good for their use.
The video was released in the summer of 2016 and upon seeing the video, Salguero realized Logic was a then 26-year-old rap artist signed to Def Jam. At that point, she asked for a $5,000 donation. Logic’s manager, Harrison Remler of Team Visionary, allegedly told her Def Jam’s offices were closed in December 2016, and they would address the fee in the new year.
“We are confident we can get some funds your way,” Remler reportedly said via email.
Over a year later, PortSide New York and Salguero have yet to see those funds.
“I really just want to put this behind me,” Salguero said. “The way our Red Hook community got through Sandy was remaining positive and for whatever reason I just can’t shake — and I should, I know — how violated I continue to feel by this.”
Something about this dude that seems off. I can tell he’s talented and his got the hustle but I’m not feelin it.
If you listen to his work in order you can hear him slowly selling out. Not even joking. Then there’s the whole Joyner lucas thing. What a shame he actually made good music now its just so watered down
He talks too much. His album would have been good if not for his self-righteous and self-indulgent monologues
Logics a clown , I wanna hate on em cause hes a dork but some of the songs are actually good. I feel the hustle. I guess its by any means necessary . Bitch wants a profit when she works for a non profit. lol
YIUbobviously don’t understand how a non profit works. That “bitch” (you must be talking about your mom) wants the 5 gees for her NPO. Fucktard…
Russell needs all the money he can get for lawyer fees.
This dude is the biggest poser, wannabe rapping ass biter around period. Now he’s jerking NPOs out of 5K? LOL. Lame as fuck.
Worst artist in Hip-Hop right now. Constant cringe-fest. Cynical faux earnestness. Terrible music. And that face…
Ouch!
These rappers will steal your baby if you let them
Man, logic is so dissapointing. First, the tech n9ne shit kind of pissed me off. Then on my birthday I paid for tickets to see him in Milwaukee but he said he was sick and was gonna reschedule. A week later he said he wasn’t going to reschedule anynore and I STILL haven’t gotten my refund yet. And now this shit. Sad because he has so much talent but he wpuld rather be lazy with verses, steal rappers ideas, and be a sellout.
well her assumptions is what fucked up her judgement… i dont think logic owes her anything.
i think him lying about being a high school student is what fucked up her judgement dummy.
Macklemore for people who think Macklemore is too street.
“I looked at Logic; he’s so scrawny, I mistook for him as [a] high school student.”
