Nelly Faces Lawsuit From St. Lunatics Over ‘Country Grammar’ Credits

Members of Nelly’s St. Lunatics crew have filed a lawsuit against him, claiming they never received proper credit from his album 'Country Grammar.'

Attorneys for St. Lunatics members Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud — all of whom appear on Country Grammar — filed the complaint Wednesday at a Manhattan federal court, Billboard reports. For instance, Nelly’s breakthrough single “Country Grammar (Hot Shit)” is credited to only the rapper and producer Jason Epperson, but the St. Lunatics members claim they were “lyric writers” on the track. Formed in the early Nineties, the St. Lunatics — which included Nelly before he embarked on his solo career — were childhood friends in St. Louis that released their debut single “Gimme What U Got” in 1996.
