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.
