Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga and
his record label, Chocolate City have filed a lawsuit against Queenbridge
legend, Nasir Jones better known as Nas for not delivering his part in a
musical deal.
In the lawsuit filed in New York
State Supreme Court, Nas and Mass Appeal Records’ Ronnie Goodman are accused of
swindling Chocolate City of $50, 000 they had paid the rapper for a verse, but
he did not deliver as agreed.
According to the lawsuit, in
2013, Nas and Goodman had entered an agreement to contribute a verse to a track
from M.I. The deal entails Nas 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.
The verse was, however, delivered
but Nas didn’t mention any of the subject matter Chocolate City requested for.
The Nigerian label requested the
Queens rapper to re-record the verse,but three years after, it hasn’t happened,
hence the reason for the sue.
