Nelly Sued by Former Group St. Lunatics for Uncredited Work on His Debut Album ‘Country Grammar’
Rapper Nelly has been sued by his former group St. Lunatics, who claim they were not properly credited for work on his debut album 'Country Grammar.'
Nelly has been sued by his former St. Lunatics group members for copyright infringement over uncredited and unpaid work on the rapper’s 2000 debut album “Country Grammar.” St. Lunatics, consisting of Ali Jones (Ali), Torhi Harper (Murphy Lee), Robert Kyjuan (Kyjuan) and Lavell Webb (City Spud), filed suit against Nelly yesterday in New York Federal Court, alleging that Nelly did not properly credit them for their contributions to his breakthrough album that propelled him to the forefront of mainstream music in the early 2000s. Nelly and St. Lunatics were signed separate record deals at UMG, with the former planning to release his album first and the latter stating that they substantially contributed writing to his project.
