‘Free Wendy’ ‘Free Britney’: The truth behind conservatorships

What’s a guardianship? As media personality Wendy Williams fights hers, we ask criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent how guardianships, also known as conservatorships, like those faced by Williams and Britney Spears work.

Plus, when does a rap battle turn into a legal fight? The latest on the Drake lawsuit about Kendrick Lamar song ‘Not Like Us’. It was filed against Universal Music Group who said ‘Not only are these claims untrue, but the notion that we would seek to harm the reputation of any artist - let alone Drake - is illogical’.

Anoushka speaks to Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African and African American Studies at Duke University in North Carolina. Plus Shaun explains how legally risky a song can be.
