Celebrity Justice
God Sues Wu-Tang -- for $170K!

Posted Jan 12th 2008 9:05AM by TMZ Staff

Oh, Lord! U-God, a current and performing member of the Wu-Tang Clan is actually suing his own band's music label, alleging that they owe him $170,000. Protect ya wallet!

In papers filed in District Court in New York, U-God (real name: Lamont Hawkins) says that Wu Music -- which is licensed to Universal Music -- owes him the loot for a variety of his god-given hip-hop services rendered, including a tour, albums, and a European record contract, all arranged starting in March 2007.

U-God has feuded with the Wu before, leaving the band in 2004 over a reported dispute with bandmate The RZA. He's since rejoined, and oddly enough, the group will be performing tomorrow night in New York City. Wu-Tang's lawyer did not return a call for comment.

6. It doesn't matter because rap is dieing a long slow death and that's a good thing. Now the real talented singers in the black community will come back stronger!

11. am sick and tired of this c rap. its not about talent, its about marketing .. and am fed up of saying it..but american blacks dont understand the harm they do when they peddle this stuff all over the world. they dont even own the record labels.. paying good money to hear yourself being called a ngga . bioch and h/o !! its insulting but they just dont get it... i wish they would keep this crap in their own country and stop coming to africa with it.. jay z can stay at home and so can his pimp juice brothers..
