Rap group Cypress
Hill has been hit with a lawsuit from music promoters Wavecrest Media in Davidson
County Court in Nashville, Tennessee. The
lawsuit claims that the rappers refuse to return a $150,000 deposit, after a 2004
September 19 performance that was canceled because of Hurricane Ivan. The
chart-topping West coast rap group was booked to play at the Tennessee State Fair,
along with Petey Pablo, Alien Ant Farm and Apex Theory. The
category 5 hurricane touched down in the United States on September 16 and was
the strongest hurricane of the 2004 season. The
hurricane dumped heavy rains across much of the Southeastern portion of the United
States, including Tennessee, which received over 12 inches of rain in various
parts of the state.According
to reports, Wavecrest was also going to shoot the concert for a future DVD. Representatives
for Cypress Hill could not be reaches as of press time.
