Nelly Lawsuit Dismissed: Rapper’s Ex-St. Lunatics Bandmate Drops Case Over ‘Country Grammar’
In a surprising turn of events, the lawsuit filed by one of Nelly’s former bandmates from St. Lunatics has been voluntarily dropped, effectively ending the legal battle.
The case was brought forth in response to alleged copyright infringement over Nelly’s 2002 album “Nellyville”, specifically the track ‘Country Grammar’. The plaintiff claimed that the song borrowed heavily from an earlier demo he had submitted for consideration by the St. Lunatics collective.
According to reports, the lawsuit has been voluntarily dropped without any financial settlement or acknowledgement of wrongdoing. This sudden turn of events raises questions about the motivations behind the case being dismissed and whether any underlying agreements have been reached between parties involved.
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits like ‘Hot in Herre’ and ‘Ride wit Me’. His St. Lunatics crew was a significant force in the hip-hop scene during that period, but tensions reportedly arose over creative differences and financial disputes.
The lawsuit’s dismissal leaves fans wondering if any other unresolved issues between Nelly and his former collaborators have been resolved behind closed doors.
