Ghostface Killah is making a renewed effort to collect full royalties for his work as a member of the Wu Tang Clan, at the same time he’s fending off a lawsuit brought by a Hollywood composer who objects to the way the hip hop artist sampled the “Iron Man Theme” for a 2000 solo album.
On Wednesday, Killah (real name: Dennis Coles) filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group for allegedly violating a contract. The rapper claims that UMG only holds a 25% stake in Wu Tang Clan songs, not a 50% copyright interest as has been asserted. Killah is suing to recover royalties being held by the music giant.
