M.I Abaga Takes Nas To Court. Files A Lawsuit In New York by SylvesterRichie(m): 2:11am On Oct 20, 2017 |
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. Check out screenshots of the suit in the gallery below. Source; VibezNg 27 Likes 7 Shares

Paying a foreign artist 50k for a verse? Guess they trying to o make sure they don't get a recycled verse by ensuring he mentions chocolate city and M.I but this cash is a lot to go and pay a foreign artist. 67 Likes 5 Shares |

Lamzee: Hope U do know its as far back as 2013.. Its NAS we are talking about here, even in d US he gets paid to feature ... Most rappers would pay to have Nas on their tracks GoggleB: Who told he doesn't pay for his features? Every artiste trying to break into any market pays for features and wizkid is no different. Every Nigerian Artiste pays their American counterparts to get a feature.. 43 Likes 3 Shares |
