Adam Sandler pulled off a power move for Happy Gilmore 2 by convincing Eminem to show up in the film for a hilarious cameo—and he almost didn’t make the call.

While chatting on The Dan Patrick Show, Sandler spilled the beans on how he got Slim Shady to play Donald’s kid in the movie. If you remember, Donald was that cranky dude from the OG Happy Gilmore who kept trash-talking Happy mid-swing.

That role was originally played by the late Joe Flaherty. Sandler admitted he wasn’t sure if bugging Em was a good idea.

“I love Eminem. I’m friends with Eminem, but I don’t want to bother the man,” Sandler said. “Everybody kept saying, ‘Eminem would be so funny in this part.’ I was like, ‘I don’t want to ruin this guy’s time.”

But eventually, he gave in and hit up Marshall anyway.

“Let me bug Marshall and give him a call and say, ‘Dude, I know it’s a pain in the a—, but it’s pretty funny. You mind shooting out to us for a day?’”

Turns out Em was all in—and loved the idea. Happy Gilmore 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Ty Dolla $ign has officially been dropped from a copyright infringement lawsuit tied to an allegedly unauthorized sample used on Vultures 1, the debut album by Hip-Hop duo ¥$, which pairs him with Kanye West, now known as Ye.

The legal complaint, filed by Memphis artists Criminal Manne, DJ Squeeky and the estate of the late Kilo G, accused the ¥$ track “F*k Sumn” of being “riddled” with unlicensed elements from their 1994 song “Drink a Yak (Part 2).”

However, in a motion submitted Wednesday, attorneys for the trio confirmed they had reached a tentative agreement with Ty Dolla $ign and Create Music Group, effectively removing both from the case.

The lawsuit remains active against Ye, whose alleged use of the sample was described in court documents as both “blatant” and “brazen.”

Filed in 2023, the case adds to Ye’s growing list of legal battles over sampling.

Since 2019, the rapper has been named in at least 10 similar lawsuits, including a notable dispute with the estate of Donna Summer, which was resolved last year.

The settlement with Ty Dolla $ign and Create Music Group was disclosed in a court filing dated Wednesday.
