"Curren$y suing Dame (swipe)"


          

Guess we now know why Spitta didn't acknowledge Muscle Car Chronicles'
release.

Im expecting a Jay-CurrenSy collabo any day now...



http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.19138/title.curreny-sues-damon-dash-for-releasing-albums-without-permission

Curren$y claims that Damon Dash released two of his LPs without his consent, demanding $1.5 million in damages.

Curren$y has sued Damon Dash for releasing two of his albums without permission.

According to TMZ, Spitta and Dame attempted to negotiate a deal to release music via DD172 in 2010, but the deal never went through. Dash released two of his albums that year, but failed to execute a contract. Curren$y then signed with Warner Bros. last year.

But after Curren$y signed with WBR, Dash continued to release his music, despite the fact that Spitta's new label had exclusive rights to his music. Curren$y is suing Dash for $1.5 million in damages and demands that he stop profiting off of him in any way.

Dash has already filed a response to the suit, claiming that he has the legal right to release his albums and was given permission. He
also states that Curren$y screwed him over by ignoring their agreement and instead signing with WBR. A judge is yet to rule on the matter.

HipHopDX will keep you updated as more information comes to light.
