Ol’ Dirty Bastard was one of the founding members of the Staten Island-based rap group Wu-Tang Clan. The estate apparently received payments from Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp in 20 as well, but the lawsuit argues the plaintiffs are owed additional money, including royalties from merchandising and videos. Wu-Tang Clan Productions did send a $130,000 check to the ODB estate, according to the legal documents. The suit also accuses Robert “RZA” Diggs’s company of failing to provide accounting statements for the past decade. Variety reports Icelene Jones is suing Wu-Tang Clan Productions for allegedly not paying royalties to the estate from 2011 to 2021. The widow of the late rapper, better known as Ol’ Dirty Bastard, claims Wu-Tang Clan Productions owes his estate at least $1 million in unpaid royalties. Russell Tyrone Jones passed away in 2004 at the age of 35.
