M.I and Chocolate City have filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court claiming Nas didn't deliver a verse they paid for.
M.I Abaga and his record label, Chocolate City, are suing Queenbridge legend Nas, real name Nasir Jones.
M.I and Chocolate City have filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court claiming Nas didn't deliver the verse they wanted.
In the lawsuit, which was filed in the New York State Supreme Court, Nas and Mass Appeal Records' Ronnie Goodman are accused of duping Chocolate City after they had paid the rapper $50,000 for the verse.
According
to the lawsuit, in 2013, Nas and Goodman entered an agreement to
contribute a verse to a track from M.I. The details of the deal were
that Nas was supposed to mention "M.I, Chocolate City, Nigeria, Queens,
New York—NAS's hometown—, Mandela, Trayvon Martin, and the struggles of
Africans and African Americans" in his verse.
Nas went on to deliver a verse but it didn't mention any of the subject matter Chocolate City had asked for.
The
Nigerian label requested that the Queens rapper to re-record the verse,
and three year later, it hasn’t happened despite them delivering the
$50,000 payment. Hence, that's why they're now suing him, they mention.
In the lawsuit, Chocolate City is very
complementary to Nas. They called him "a highly respected lyricist in
the music industry" and wrote that they wanted a verse from him "because of NAS's exceptional talent as a lyric writer."
Unfortunately, according to Chocolate City, that talent and lyricism was not evident in the verse they got.
