All’s not well in the Wu-Tang Clan as original member U-God is taking RZA and the rest of the group to court because he claims he’s owed at least $2.5 million, according to TMZ.
U-God is claiming that he hasn’t received his cut from his work on 170 songs across 12 Wu-Tang albums. He also says he has an agreement with the group to receive two annual payments from merchandise sales from the group and cites the $2 million deal for the Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album that he’s also due a cut from. He says he hasn’t been getting his proper cut for at least six years now.
In the court documents, U-God reportedly places most of the blame on RZA and his brother Mitchell “Divine” Diggs, saying that they have been instrumental in blocking him from his fair pay.
The nerve of this non-rappin ass nigga. It would be the weakest nigga in the crew to pull some shit like this. If I was RZA I’d show up to court, play one of his wack ass verses for the jury, then rest my case.
Loooooool!!!! Your comment made my day!!
I wanna know how this nigga came up with that figure. What was the fuckin calculus this nigga came up with that had him thinking his contributions added up to 2.5 million dollars. My god.
“I’m the only light skin nigga in the group so minus this and add that and voila 2.5 mill ……huh you want me to drop you off before the light or after the light and that’s gonna be $15.”
Lmao that comment made my day
He replaceable anyway. Cap too. Guess new Wu shit headed by Ghost aint ever seeing light of day
Cap was never as bad as people made him out to be. He at least had some bright spots like winter warz. Unlike this nigga U-god. This article fucked up my evening.
U God ain’t having it, but since the early 90’s behind the tour scenes I could tell he was more aggressive about getting his points across. Aside from that U God wasn’t one of the most notable in the clan but then again there were a few other members imo that were just “rappers”
He’s a member of the group so he deserves his part of money. RZA is actin’ shady since he began hanging out with white folks from Hollywood . Rza is actin very devilish. Shame on a nigga.
Mr. Xcitement and keynote speaker sold 20 copies,add some wack wu verses, id give him 2 dollars. He messin up Wu chemistry worse than it already is. I guess their ride is over
This nigga just needs to come to grips with reality and get a 9-5…He lives off the strength of the wu. No promoter is dumb enough to book a UGod solo show.
At the end of the day he part of hip hop iconic group that we will ever witnessed. Get that cream
If it wasn’t for RZA golden arms would be a hype or in jail or dead or a pot head living off welfare.
Your logic is that of doodoo fly, so just because rza helped form ths group and was a major part of the group, the god should work for free for him?
I swear yall nigs are …nevermind
Fuck outta’ here TtG! UGod as who bankrolled the Ckan in the early days. He was the one really gettin’ that street money back then.
So RZA, pay that man his money!!!!
smh at these comments niggas aint hip…ugod been sayin this since after the wu-tang forever tour. Niggas sayin ugod had wack verses?? fuck outta here go do your history and listen to Ironman, supreme clientele, wu-tang forever(killed all his features) etc etc fuck outta here rza pay the man
I feel bad for U g, he is apart of one of the greatest groups ever and has to take legal action to get whats rightfully his. I lost respect for RZA in the 90’s after hearing how he was trying to do the rest of the wu members and then after he hated on Bone thugs after Bone Kept beating them out at award shows through out the 90’s.
All of Wu tang BROKE . Good luck IDIOT .
Rza and his bro screwed most the wu I watched odb documentary his family got left with nothing!! dont sign a contract with a black man your always lose ask anyone who signed to diddy,birdman,suge,master p, dame dash
this is the whitest thing I’ve read all day. like white dudes arent ripping people off. you need to cut it..
Master P – feed his homies!!!!!!! Mia X said her first royalty check was $250k and she hadn’t even gone gold. His only prob was they didn’t tour as a whole but that wouldn’t have stopped me cuz I would’ve hit the road on my own. I am not the type that needs to be hand held and spoon fed like your c00n ass
There has been a lot of No Limit artists that said P took care of them. Snoop reiterated that on the Drink Champs podcast.
Wack or not he was a part of the group and deserves his cut.
Fck yall hating on the god, he is one of the best in the wu, yall like cats with commercialism, god dont stand out so he aint dope to yall, dude is a monster on the mike
No. he sucks. Bland flow. All the travks he is on would be better without him on it.
U God would beat you ass if you said any this shit his face
Please. U-God is a bitch.
Master Killa >>> UGod for the battle of last place of the original 8
I guess you never heard either of their solo albums….
Who’s U-God?
If you don’t know who U-God is you are a complete ignorant when it comes to rap music.
Wu dropped in ’93. 9 dudes. December ’16 and this the 1st I’ve heard of a member suing, pretty clean long track record. That many dudes? Expected it much earlier.
Do your history blood not the first time at least three other members have said he’s messed over them
Rza is always in the middle of some shady shit. Eventually u just gotta realize this cat is scheming.
This guy has 0 memorable lines. Period. Just tarrible. Capadonna sucks too.
lmao.. Capadonna is far from trash..
Co-sign. And neither is U-God. Both do have their wack verses, but Cap is nothing short of brilliant on “Winter Warz”, “Ice Water”, “Ice Cream” and even a latter day joint like “A-Alike, B-Alike, C-Alike”, while Baby Huey is killin’ it on for example “Black Jesus”, “Supa Ninjaz” & “Stomp Da Roach” from 2009’s “Dopium”.
Real heads know what’s up. And I’m not only talking about Wu-heads.
You’re stupid! Obviously you were born in the late 90’s! Pussy ass punk!
Born in 1977. I have seen them all live at least 5 times. With ODB. Capadonna does suck too… Rakim and BDK fan as far as your 90s shit goes. Both are actually my homies. I have their number on my cel. Poo butt punk.
I aint gonna front U-God can rap n his flow is mad unique. He never got as popular as the rest of the Clan members. Rza stays holdin out on dough. Even Ghost n Rza went to court before…Even though they eventually settled without getting the courts involved.
I’m sure that most of the clan support U-God on this.
U-God isn’t the first one to complain because he thinks he should have got paid way more and he is not the first one to sue RZA for that reason (Ghostface Killah already did the same).
Anyway it’s almost a miracle that Wu Tan Clan still exist after so many years… 9 members and they are still together evne though most of them think RZA is ripping them off.
U GOD WU NO MORE OVER 2.5 MILLI WHAT A LOSER WHITE BOY
awful is just that. sayin u god has no memorable lines???? “raw imma give it to ya, with no trivia, raw like cocaine straight from bolivia, my hip hop will rock and shock the nation, like the emancipation proclomation.” first words of mystery of chessboxin, idiot
U-God is due what he contributed, but as RZA has broken it down before – U-God is the Third Tier of Wu-Tang pay structure based on solo popularity. Tier 1 – Mef, Ghost, Rae / Tier 2 – Gza, Rza, Dek, ODB / Tier 3 – MK, U-God, Cap. RZA put himself in the middle because he knows he does not draw the sales the top do. This was implemented after the W for all subsequent group releases. While Mr. Diggs did not divulge the percentages in each tier we can estimate they would be somewhere as follows, with the Estate of Mr. Jones receiving his percentages – Tier 1 = 16% each, Tier 2 = 8.5% each, Tier 3 = 5%. So at most baby Ueeee is getting a baby percentage. His solo albums are straight trash. When I bought Golden Arms the day it came out I was very confused because the lyrics are nonsense. But unlike the best GFK albums, there is no code its just U-God bullshit.
