The legal problems
for R. Kelly continue to mount, as Harlem, New York rapper Cam’ron has hit
the Chicago, Illinois crooner with a lawsuit.
Cam’ron, born Cameron Giles alleges R. Kelly has infringed
his copyright for the “Snake Remix,” which Giles claims he co-wrote.
Both the original version and the remix to the song feature R. Kelly
and former Rap City host Big Tigga and the remix featured the pair plus Cam’ron.
The original version was featured on Kelly’s 2003 hit
album Chocolate Factory.
The lawsuit comes on the heels of the soul singer’s wife
Andrea’s filing for an order of protection against Kelly, which was granted
last Thursday (Sept. 22).
In the latest turn events, Kelly’s wife filed a request
to dismiss the order of protection, her lawyer Nathan Swerdlove said yesterday
(Sept. 27).
“They had
a squabble — and how many marriages don’t have that sort of thing?" told
the Chicago Sun Times. "They’re trying to work things out, and they’d like
to do it privately.”
