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.

Saddened to report the passing of philanthropist and former Queen of Carnival Adelaide Wisdom Benjamin at the age of 93.
The angel of the New Orleans Symphony, Benjamin was also queen of the Twelfth Night Revelers and Rex in the same season. Our sympathies are with her multitudes of family, friends, and colleagues.
Thanks to NOLA.com for this story.

Her determination and leadership helped save New Orleans’ symphony orchestra.
