Earlier this year, St Lunatics Ali Jones, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud sued Nelly for copyright infringement and unjust enrichment. They claimed they weren't adequately credited or properly compensated for their work on Nelly's 2000 smash hit debut album Country Grammar and are seeking $50 million.
Nevertheless, Murphy, Kyjuan, and Spud appeared with Nelly Sunday at the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special.
There's a reason for that.
According to Nelly's lawyer, the trio have all contacted him in an effort to remove their names from the lawsuit. This leaves Ali—who wasn't on stage Sunday night—as the only St Lunatic going forward with legal action against Nelly.
Ali has long been the member of the group most aggrieved by Nelly.
Last year, he told VladTV that he'd never work with him again.
"A tiger ain’t never gon’ change his stripes," he said.. "I watched it for 20 years and I’m the butt of the joke because it took me 20 years to realize it. I could put a never, ever behind it. [I'll never] hit the stage or do anything with him."
