Ol’ Dirty Bastard‘s widow is suing Wu-Tang Clan Productions, alleging that the late rapper’s estate is still owed at least $1 million in unpaid royalties. Ol’ Dirty Bastard is a founding member of the group, and his widow Icelene Jones wants some respect on his name and his estate. 

According to Variety, the lawsuit says that Wu-Tang Clan Productions did not pay royalties to the estate from 2011 until July 2021. The estate received a fraction of what is owed, estimated at $130,000. The suit also alleges that Jones tried multiple times to seek the money owed. 

The complaint reportedly cites a 1992 recording agreement where ODB was to be paid 50% of net earnings on the publishing of his copyrighted songs. The Wu were also to split 50% of net earnings from the sound recordings. The lawsuit also alleges ODB’s estate is also owed royalties on merchandising and videos. 

On Tuesday in New York Supreme Court, the lawsuit was filed. Variety reports, it alleges breach of contract and seeks damages of at least $1 million, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs.
