M.I Abaga Sues American Rapper, Nas To Court

By -
M.I Abaga and his record label, Chocolate City, are suing Queenbridge legend Nas, real name Nasir Jones. M.I and Chocolate City have filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court claiming Nas didn’t deliver the verse they wanted. In the lawsuit, which was filed in the New York State Supreme Court, Nas and Mass Appeal Records’ Ronnie Goodman are accused of duping Chocolate City after they had paid the rapper $50,000 for the verse. According to the lawsuit, in 2013, Nas and Goodman entered an agreement to contribute a verse to a track from M.I. The details of the deal were that 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. Nas went on to deliver a verse but it didn’t mention any of the subject matter Chocolate City had asked for.The Nigerian label requested that the Queens rapper to re-record the verse, and three year later, it hasn’t happened despite them delivering the $50,000 payment. Hence, that’s why they’re now suing him, they mention. In the lawsuit, Chocolate City is very complementary to Nas. They called him “a highly respected lyricist in the music industry” and wrote that they wanted a verse from him “because of NAS’s exceptional talent as a lyric writer.” Unfortunately, according to Chocolate City, that talent and lyricism was not evident in the verse they got.

By -

An attempt by Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court to voluntarily retire    to beat sanctions has been decimated by the National Judicial Council (NJC) which explained on Thursday that he was compulsorily retired, with immediate effect, following a recommendation it had made to President Muhammadu Buhari. In a statement signed by Director of Information Soji Oye on behalf of the NJC Secretary, the body described Justice Ademola’s purported 'voluntary retirement' clearly as an afterthought, as the Council had taken action before his decision to forward a voluntary retirement letter. The statement followed Wednesday’s NJC meeting chaired by Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen recommended the compulsory retirement of Federal High Court judges Ademola and O. O. Tokode, for misconduct. The NJC also suspended the two men from office with immediate effect. The NJC statement explained that Mr. Ademola had sent his notice of retirement to the Council on Octob...
