M.I Files Lawsuit Against American Rapper, Nas for Alleged Breach of Agreement

The Nigerian music side filed a lawsuit against the Queenbridge legend at the New York State Supreme Court claiming that he did not deliver what they wanted.

This is according to a report by Pulse.ng, Nas and Mass Appeal Records’ Ronnie Goodman were accused of duping Chocolate City after they had paid the rapper $50,000 for a verse which he failed to deliver according to the terms of contract.

The lawsuit stated that, in 2013, Nas and Goodman  agreed to contribute a verse to a track from M.I. where 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.

The rapper delivered the verse but didn’t mention any of the subject matters Chocolate City had asked for.

The Nigerian label then requested that the Queens rapper to re-record the verse, but hasn’t complied even after three years,even though the Nigerian side had made the $50,000 payment. Hence, the reason why they’re now suing him, they mentioned.

In the lawsuit, Chocolate City complimented Nas, calling him “a highly respected lyricist in the music industry” stating that they wanted a verse from him “because of NAS’s exceptional talent as a lyric writer.” 

Chocolate City is however disappointed as according to them, that talent and lyricism was not evident in the verse they got.
