Are “Empire” stars Trai Byers (Andre Lyon) and Grace Gealey (Anika “Boo Boo Kitty” Calhoun) dating? The duo was spotted at a friend’s wedding sparking rumors that they’re more than just family. According to sources, Trai and Grace were “affectionate” at times but “conscious that people were looking.”
In other “Empire” news, Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon) squashed rumors that there was drama brewing behind the scenes. “That’s all bullsh*t, 100% of it. We all love each other, period,” he said. That’s the least of “Empire’s” worries. Real life Empire CEO Ghazi Shami accused Twentieh Century Fox of “infringement.”
“This music shares the same search terms as EMPIRE’s music, the musical genres are identical, and the songs and albums are positioned in close proximity in online outlets such as iTunes, Google Play, Amazon.com, and Spotify. It isn’t just a fictional show; they are functioning as a record label in the real world,” he said in a statement.
“We are confident that this is a textbook trademark infringement case,” he added.
LEt’s hope they figure this all out before season 2.
