Nelly may be facing a lawsuit from St Lunatics, but according to a new report from TMZ, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud are all against taking legal action. Instead, Ali Jones is the sole member who is serious about going after the Country Grammar artist. The report comes after the group (minus Jones) all reunited for a performance at the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special on Sunday.
In a letter obtained by TMZ, Nelly's attorney, N. Scott Rosenblum, claims the three other St. Lunatics have all contacted him in an effort to get their names removed from the lawsuit. The filing is in relation to the making of his iconic 2000 album, Country Grammar. It alleged that Nelly never properly credited the group for their work on the effort.
Nelly Performs With St. Lunatics
Ali Jones previously explained his issues with Nelly during an interview with VladTV, last year. In doing so, he promised to never perform with the rapper again. “A tiger ain’t never gon’ change his stripes," he said. "I watched it for 20 years and I’m the butt of the joke because it took me 20 years to realize it. I could put a never, ever behind it will I ever hit the stage or do anything with him. He has no real raw good intentions for others. Not for us and we’ve all sat together and searched hard to try to find a time that didn’t benefit him. He got $50 million, I’m happy for him. That’s what he wants. He wants a billion.”
