Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Presenting information in a way that is intended to provoke strong emotions or excitement.

The article uses sensationalism by stating that the lawsuit between Rick Astley and Yung Gravy was 'months-long' and that it was 'resolved' without providing any further details. This creates a sense of drama and intrigue without providing the necessary information for a complete understanding of the situation.

Provide more details about the settlement and the terms agreed upon by both parties to provide a more balanced and informative account of the lawsuit.

Omission of key information

Leaving out important details that could provide a more complete understanding of the situation.

The article mentions that Rick Astley sued Yung Gravy for imitating his vocals on the song 'Betty', but it does not provide any information about the outcome of the lawsuit or the specific allegations made by Astley's legal team. This omission of key information limits the reader's ability to fully evaluate the situation.

Include information about the outcome of the lawsuit and the specific allegations made by Astley's legal team to provide a more comprehensive account of the situation.

Biased language

Using language that favors one side over another.

The article refers to Yung Gravy as an 'American rapper' and Rick Astley as a 'signature' artist. This biased language suggests a positive connotation for Astley and a potentially negative connotation for Yung Gravy.

Use neutral language to describe both Yung Gravy and Rick Astley to avoid favoring one side over the other.
