More legal stuff now. So So Def honcho Jermaine Dupri is facing a defamation lawsuit because of a recording of a private phone-call that appeared on Daz Dillinger album 'So So Gangsta' back in 2006. A woman called Aika Kendrick claims that the Dupri and Dillinger recorded a personal conversation with her and then used it as a background to the song 'The One', which is about an emotionally abusive relationship; the conversation ends with Dillinger launching a tirade of abuse at Kendrick.
Kendrick says that as soon as she was aware that the call had been recorded she sent a cease-and-desist to Dupri's label, but they ignored it, and adds that her inclusion on the album track has made her "the subject of embarrassment, humiliation, and degradation". She's seeking $250,000 in damages on the grounds of negligence, copyright infringement, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
