Nelly Wins Legal Victory as St. Lunatics Withdraw

Nelly has achieved a significant legal victory as three former members of the St. Lunatics, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud, have withdrawn from a $50 million lawsuit accusing him of withholding royalties for their contributions to his 2000 album, Country Grammar. These members claimed they had not consented to the lawsuit and requested their removal, leaving only Ali Jones to pursue the matter against Nelly. The lawsuit alleged that Nelly manipulated the group into believing they would be compensated for their work, but he failed to deliver on those promises. Despite the ongoing legal dispute, the three bandmates recently joined Nelly on stage at the 2024 American Music Awards, indicating a desire to distance themselves from the lawsuit. Ali's attorney expressed that he remains committed to seeking the unpaid royalties he believes he is owed. The legal battle continues with Ali as the sole plaintiff while the others have shifted their focus back to their friendship with Nelly.
