Lil Romeo’s
album Gametime is the subject of a lawsuit over claims that the author
of some of the album’s material was never compensated or credited for his
contributions.
Sean Cunningham
claims that he wrote six songs on the album, one that appeared in a motion picture
titled “Max Keeble’s Big Move” that featured a cameo by Romeo,
son of No Limit mogul Master P.
The lawsuit was
filed in the Federal District Court in Houston, Texas. The lawsuit names Lil
Romeo, Master P., Master P. Music LLC, One Up Entertainment, Universal Music
Group and Buena Vista Home Entertainment as defendants.
In addition to
claims of not being properly credited, Cunningham also claims that Lil Romeo
copied his style.
Cunningham’s
lawsuit claims he was not paid to be a ghostwriter for the album and is seeking
an undisclosed amount.
The case will go
to trial on March 5, 2005.
