Nelly Sued by St. Lunatics Over Uncredited Work on Country Grammar Album

Hip-hop superstar Nelly is facing a lawsuit from his former group, the St. Lunatics, over allegations of uncredited work on his iconic Country Grammar album. The group, comprised of Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud, filed a copyright infringement suit against Nelly in New York Federal Court.

The claim centers around the group’s contributions to the writing and publishing of the album, which they allege were not properly credited. This isn’t the first time the St. Lunatics have spoken out against Nelly’s alleged mistreatment of their artistic contributions. In a previous interview, Ali revealed that Nelly owed him a significant amount of money for his work with the group.

Ali expressed frustration over Nelly’s lack of communication and accused him of trying to divide the group. He vowed never to reunite with Nelly or perform with him again in the future, citing a lack of genuine intentions on Nelly’s part.

The lawsuit comes on the heels of Nelly’s reported $50 million deal for selling half of his music catalog, which included the albums that featured the St. Lunatics. The group’s lawsuit highlights the ongoing tensions between Nelly and his former collaborators, shedding light on the complexities of the music industry and the importance of crediting artists for their work.
