Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Widow Files $1 Million Lawsuit Against Wu-Tang Productions Over Royalties

Icelene Jones claims ODB’s estate hasn’t been paid 10 years of royalties, though RZA sent her a $130,000 check last July.

Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s family is demanding $1 million from Wu-Tang Productions.

According to court documents obtained by Radar, ODB’s widow Icelene Jones — who is the administrator of the late rapper’s estate — is suing the company owned and operated by Robert Fitzgerald Diggs aka RZA – ODB’s cousin.

Icelene explains in 1992 OBD co-founded Wu-Tang with a group of artists — Ghostface Killer, Raekwon and GZA. They entered into a deal where they would provide their services to Wu-Tang Productions for 50% of the net royalties and advances.

ODB also granted Wu-Tang Productions and RZA the rights to use his name and likeness in connection with merchandise and other videos.
