    Mary J. Blige Sued For More Than $2 Million

    Posted by Micki B on 08.08.2008 at 9:13 am

    Mary J. Blige has been named a lawsuit which claims she stole the song, “Work That” which appeared on her 2007 album, Growing Pain from Dream Family Entertainment.

    Dream Family Entertainment, a New York production company filed a lawsuit against Mary J. Blige and apparently she is the only defendent named in the case.

    Blige is listed as a songwriter on the track which opens an indirect claim for the song. The song in question was also used in commercial ads of iPod from Apple Inc. Apple, Inc. was not named in the lawsuit.

    The company is suing for more than $2 million from the Grammy-winning singer. In court documents, Theron Feemster is allegedly the producer who worked for the company at the time and after Theron’s resignation they never gave Theron or Mary’s label Geffen Records rights to work on the song.

    “Mr. Feemster created the music while he was under contract with Dream Family. Dream Family then owned the music, yet the music was used without permission in a Mary J. Blige release recording,” said Dream lawyer Brian Caplan during an interview.

    At some point in the interview, Brian Kaplan did say that it was not clear yet whether the singer knew that Theron actually had no rights for the song.

    Let’s hope everything works out for the best for MJB.
