As a gamer who has spent countless hours navigating the virtual world of hip-hop history, I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia when I read about this latest chapter in Nelly’s career. The St. Lunatics lawsuit, seeking a staggering $50 million, alleges copyright infringement and unpaid royalties regarding Nelly’s debut album, “Country Grammar.
It’s been reported by Billboard that Nelly must seek legal representation because his previous bandmates, Ali, Murphy Lee, City Spud, and Kyjuan, have filed a lawsuit against him for an alleged $50 million.
Everyone involved is taking legal action against Nelly regarding his debut album, “Country Grammar,” from 2000. They allege copyright violations and unpaid royalties. However, Slo Down, another ex-group member, is not part of this lawsuit.
As reported, the gentlemen claim that Nelly did not acknowledge their contribution in composing tracks such as “Steal the Show,” “Thicky Thick Girl,” and “Batter Up.” Additionally, they allege that the hip-hop artist made promises to compensate them but failed to fulfill those obligations.
According to the lawsuit, each time the plaintiffs encountered defendant Cornell Haynes (also known as Nelly), he would assure them as friends that he wouldn’t stop them from earning the financial success they deserved. However, regrettably, trusting their friend and former band member, the plaintiffs did not initially seek any legal action, believing that he wouldn’t take credit for the original compositions.
It might not come as a shock to many that Ali is involved in the lawsuit, given that he publicly accused Nelly of leaving him high and dry after their contract was signed back in 2021.
In the future, Universal Records acquired Nelly as an artist. Later on, Nelly’s manager contacted me, saying that Nelly himself didn’t require my assistance in songwriting. Ali shared this in a since-deleted Instagram post. He added that he had been brought to the studio by someone else, but once there, he was no longer needed. Despite helping him with the writing process, he received no recognition for his work! Amazing, I was swindled. You live and learn.
Later on, Nelly countered Ali’s statements during their conversation on the St. Louis-based radio show, ‘Wat Up Doe’, stating that Ali didn’t initially belong to the group but joined at a later stage. Furthermore, he alleged that Ali had been absent for numerous performances after joining the group.
Nelly still hasn’t answered about the lawsuit. The query now arises as to whether he will opt for a settlement or if this case will proceed to court.
