Nigerian Rapper, M.I, sues Rap Legend, Nas

Entertainment. 


Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga, is suing American rap legend, Nas, for allegedly failing to deliver a verse his label paid for.

The lawsuit was filed in the New York State Supreme Court last week, Nas was accused of  defrauding Chocolate City after they had paid the rapper $50,000 for the verse.

According to the lawsuit, in 2013, Nas and Chocolate City had an agreement to contribute a verse to a track from M.I

Nas did deliver a verse for M.I. to use but the lawsuit contends that the verse in question did not have any of the subject matter or name drops the two artists had agreed it would have: “M.I, Chocolate City, Nigeria, Queens, New York—NAS’s hometown—, Mandela, Trayvon Martin, and the struggles of Africans and African Americans.”



Chocolate City requested that the Queens rapper re-record the verse, and three years later, he is alleged to have failed to live up to his own part of the agreement. M.I and his team say NAS has failed to respond despite them paying $50,000 upfront.

It's been four years and Nas has yet to deliver the verse, according to Chocolate City, they are left with  no other choice but to sue.

The label is requesting for the return of their $50,000, along with $1 million in damages relating to lost profits from being unable to market and sell the M.I./Nas collaboration, and punitive damages and attorney’s fees.
