A judge has found Krewe of Oshun captain Gian Durand is not personally liable for fees owed to float builder Jack Rizzuto, though the krewe may still be responsible for unpaid fees. This is the latest in a string of events starting in July 2025, when Rizzuto, captain of the Krewe of Mid-City and the Krewe of Pygmalion attempted to install himself as the captain of Oshun. You may also recall Durand as the first Black Queen of the Krewe of ALLA that same year.

Despite the ruling, the krewe isn't necessarily off the hook for the alleged missed payments to a group of float builders.
