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.
