ODB's mum goes to court over estate

The mother of Ol' Dirty Bastard, Cherry Jones, will go to court in New York next week in an ongoing dispute with the rapper's widow over his estate.

According to the New York Post, the mother of late Wu-Tang Clan man Ol' Dirty Bastard, who she probably called Russell Jones, will go to court in New York next week in an ongoing battle with the rapper's widow over his estate.

The dispute over the hip hopper's estate began almost as soon as Jones died of a drug induced heart attack back in 2004. His mother, Cherry Jones, claims his widow, Icelene Jones, is misusing funds from the estate, as do two other women who had children by the rapper.

It is unclear exactly what Cherry Jones wants - an injunction controlling how Icelene manages her late husband's estate, control of the estate for herself, or the handling of the estate by a third independent party.
