TVT's Steve Gottlieb may have been laughing when his lawsuit against Lyor Cohen and Universal owned Island Def Jam netted him $132m earlier this year, but he'll be less happy at the news he is being sued by a different UMG rap label, Cash Money.
As previously reported Gottlieb won the huge damages when a court agreed with him that the Universal label had acted corruptly in a bid to stop the independent from releasing a Cash Money Click album featuring Ja Rule, formerly of TVT but now signed to IDJ.
The latest court action by the Louisiana based Cash Money centres on the same album – they are trying to block TVT from using the Cash Money Click name because they say it infringe's their trademark.
Remains to be seen if the action is successful or if any other Universal labels want to have this album banned.
