The widow of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Icelene Jones, is suing Wu-Tang Clan for unpaid profits. According to the lawsuit, Jones claims that according to the contract he originally signed with Wu-Tang Productions, he should still be compensated and his estate hasn’t gotten any profits since 2011. Icelene did say she was compensated in July 2021 but believes that’s nowhere near what she’s owed. ODB signed a contract back in 1992 which she says took most of ODB’s earnings and the company was supposed to pay under 50% of his net royalties, but didn’t.
