The Top Dawg Entertainment YouTube channel has been shut down.

TDE hasn't had a very good week when it comes to copyright claims. Yesterday, news of a lawsuit over the image used on Kendrick Lamar's "The Blacker The Berry" artwork made the rounds, and today, it's been discovered that the label's YouTube page has been "terminated".

"Top Dawg Entertainment has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted," reads the message when attempting to access the TDE YoutUbe page.

It's unclear if the incidents are related, but we wouldn't be surprised if they were. No one from the TDE camp have commented on the shut down thus far.

Chances are, TDE will be able to have the channel reinstated after they work things out with YouTube. There were 191 videos hosted on it, so we hope they'll get things back up-and-running soon.
