Chocolate City rapper, M.I Abaga, is trying to recoup the sum of $50,000 from American hip-hop artist, Nas.
According to a suit filed in New York Supreme Court, MI is suing Nas for breach of contract.
M.I filed the lawsuit claiming he and his record label entered an agreement with Nas and his partner Ronnie Goodman in 2013 to contribute a verse to a track from M.I but they did not deliver on it after a payment of $50,000 had been made.
In the agreement, 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.
Although Nas delivered the track, he didn’t mention any of the subject matter as agreed with Chocolate City in the contract.
Efforts by Chocolate City to see that Nas re-record the verse never happened despite the fact that the contract had been signed for over three years and he received payment.
This is what has led to the ensuing lawsuit.
