Rising hiphop recording artist Iggy Azalea is suing her ex-boyfriend for making deals to release stolen music from Azalea.
The suit was filed against Primco Management Inc., ESMG Inc., Top Sail Productions LLC and Maurice Williams for copyright and trademark infringement.
Accoring to the lawsuit which was filed in the federal court of Los Angeles, the unreleased music which was stolen from Azalea's laptop years ago violated the copyright and trademark laws. Her music was planned to be released on September 30 by Williams, who had no consent and authority to advertise or distribute her music. Last July 2014, Williams even announced that a pending album of Azalea that they had a joint venture with and stated that he believes the "merger will be monumental because the projects that we have coming down the pipeline are going to shock the world."
In the details of the complaint, it stated that Williams allegedly kept Azalea's copy of her songs and there was a forged contract between Azalea and Williams.
Last July 24, Primco Management Inc. claimed that the company had secured the rights to Iggy Azalea's album called "Inizio".
When Azalea (born as Amethyst Amelia Kelly) was only 17 years old, she met Maurice Williams (also known as rapper Jefe Wine). Williams took Azalea in and lived together for while. That was when Williams allegedly downloaded all the contents of Azalea's computer.
