Nelly Sued by St. Lunatics Over 'Country Grammar' Royalties

Former group members claim they were denied writing credits and royalties for contributions to Nelly's 2000 debut album.

The lawsuit was filed by Ali Jones, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud, who allege Nelly broke promises to credit them properly.
The plaintiffs are seeking no less than $50 million in damages for what they describe as uncredited and unpaid work on eight songs.
St. Lunatics claim they believed Nelly's assurances over the years but discovered in 2020 that they had been misled.
Key tracks involved in the dispute include 'Batter Up,' 'Steal the Show,' and the title track 'Country Grammar.'
Nelly's legal representative has yet to respond publicly, with a statement expected on Friday.
