Usher Seeks Default Judgment Against Lawyer in Battle Over $700,000 Loan

Usher has asked a Fulton County judge to sanction the Atlanta lawyer who he claims has yet to repay a $700,000 loan. In the November 9 Fulton County Superior Court filing, as seen by Complex , the R&B singer opposes the attempt for lawyer Alcide Honoré's to dismiss the motion. It also asks the court to strike his answer, dismiss his counterclaim with prejudice and enter a default judgment against Honoré on liability. COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. The eight-time Grammy winner also wants the court to confirm that $1.7 million was wired into Honoré's trust account on January 8, 2025, while $700,000 of it was never returned. The R&B vocalist is also asking for his legal fees to be covered. In response, Honoré denied being deposited funds, while lawyers for Usher called his comment "a bald-faced lie." Court documents show Usher’s belief that Honoré was being "evasive and incomplete" with his evidence and claims his objections are "baseless" and "empty." Honoré’s evidence includes a wire confirmation showing $1.7 million sent from The UR Trust to "Honore Law LLC Trust" on January 8, 2025, with the memo "Loan -

Old conference foes Utah, Washington reunite amid unbeaten starts

In a clash of former Pac-12 foes, Utah and Washington will look to maintain their undefeated starts when they meet Saturday in Salt Lake City. The Utes (3-0) are coming off an up-and-down 85-64 home win over Weber State, while the Huskies (2-0) head into the road contest after defeating Mississippi Valley State 77-64 in Seattle. After trailing by seven points at halftime, Utah pulled away with a 20-0 second-half run that included five points from Alec Anigbata and back-to-back dunks by Babacar Faye. That surge was part of a dominant 55-27 second half for the Utes, who also showed stretches of inconsistency and strong play in previous wins over Long Beach State and Towson. "Really good second half. Our guys responded well," Utah coach Alex Jensen said. "Just need to get better at not waiting until we get down to pick up the intensity and everything. You know, a lot of things we need to work on individually and collectively to get better, but hopefully we can put together a full game of that intensity." Utah's latest win, part of a five-game homestand to open the season, featured a career-high 21 points from Anigbata. Jackson Holcombe added 18 points,
