Aaron Carter sued for $50k for not paying 'intern' who designed his website-by Lekan Macualay


Aaron Carter has been slapped with a lawsuit by a man claiming the star is refusing to pay him for work he did on his website.
John Cantu agreed to design Carter's music marketing page and is now claiming that when he asked for a paycheck in June the singer scoffed, deeming him an unpaid intern.
TMZ reports Cantu is now demanding $50,000 from the Aaron's Party hitmaker after maintaining his website for several months.

In the lawsuit Cantu says he can't be an intern if he didn't learn anything from the 28-year-old pop star.
It's not clear if Carter agreed to pay Cantu before the work started or if the web developer just assumed it was a paid gig.
In response to not getting his money Cantu took control of Carter's webpage and briefly redirected traffic to his own Twitter handle.
The aaroncarter.com webpage is now completely blank.
Carter has apparently responded with his own letter demanding control of the web page back but Cantu is refusing to hand it over until he is compensated.

The brother of Backstreet Boys star Nick hinted at the issue on Sunday morning when he tweeted: 'There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed. I rest my case.'
Carter rose to fame in the late '90s but hasn't released an album since 2002.
He is planning to release his fifth studio album, LØVË later this year.

In 2013 Carter filed for bankruptcy after finding himself more than $2 million in debt.
Earlier this year he opened up about his stint in rehab in 2011.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight he revealed that his idol Robert Downey Jr. left him and other patients a message on a cork board at the Betty Ford Clinic.
'[It read] "I am here with you all,"' the singer - who spent a month there - recalled.

'I probably shouldn't even say this, but I stayed in the same room that Robert Downey Jr. stayed in, and he became my idol because of Iron Man and what he did with his career. Then I made him my mentor without him even knowing about it.'  
'The misconceptions are that I'm a meth head, or I'm a crackhead, or I'm a drug addict,' the former Dancing With the Stars contestant said, blaming his thin 6ft frame. 
'I drink wine. I smoke weed. I have anxiety problems, I take medication for anxiety. I mean, it's just what it is.'

Who is Usman Danfodio?

Who is Usman Danfodio-Brief History By Lekan Macualay Usman dan Fodio, Muslim religious leader and founder of the Sokoto Caliphate in what is now northern Nigeria. A Fulani born in the Hausa state of Gobir, Usman dan Fodio studied the Koran with his father, an eminent scholar, then moved from place to place to study with other religious scholars. When he was 25, he began teaching and preaching, and from this time his reputation as a holy man grew. He taught Islam in Gobir, and he was probably engaged as tutor to the future sultan Yunfa because of his learned reputation.  Usman criticized the Hausa ruling elite for their heavy taxation and other practices that he claimed violated Islamic law. His call for Islamic reform (and tax reduction) earned him a wide following in the 1780s and 1790s, when he became a political threat to Gobir sultan Nafata. When Yunfa assumed power as sultan in 1802, the repression of Usman’s followers worsened. Following the example of the pr...

operatives, targets during Paris attacks Lekan Macaulay's blog The sophisticated ISIS network that plots foreign strikes had planned for the carnage in the November 2015 Paris attacks to be far worse, to occur in other European countries as well and, investigators believe, had planned to follow them up with strikes in several locations, CNN has learned. CNN has obtained thousands of pages of documents and photos from internal European investigations and gathered information from sources close to the Paris investigation that together provide new details about the highly organized terror group intent on attacking overseas targets. These documents reveal new information about two captured operatives who investigators believe intended to attack France. They also point, chillingly, to the existence of another suspected terrorist -- never before named publicly -- who authorities claim is linked to the Paris terror cell and was on the loose in Europe for months after that attac...
