The battle between Iggy Azalea and former boyfriend Jefe Wine is headed to the courtroom. Iggy has filed a federal lawsuit against Wine, alleging he forged documents and illegally downloaded the entire contents of her computer in 2009 while they lived together in Atlanta.
The data included unreleased music, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jefe, real name Maurice Williams, released an EP entitled I earlier this year without Iggy's consent. Universal Music got the album removed from all retail outlets by sending out a cease and desist order.
According to Azalea's lawsuit, the music derived from her unreleased masters and constitutes violations of her copyright, trademark, name and likeness. She's also alleging conversion of stolen information from her computer.
Jefe also alleges he has the right to distribute their sex tape because of a recording contract Iggy, real name Amethyst Kelly, signed. She says the document is forged.
"The Forged Agreement contains tell-tale signs that it is not genuine," states the lawsuit. "For example, it includes mismatched fonts on the signature page, paragraph numbers out of sequence, a signature line for 'Wine Enterprises, inc.' [sic] (rather than for an authorized agent), and provides, as an address for legal notices, the contact information of an attorney who had no prior knowledge of the Forged Agreement."
The lawsuit doesn't mention the sex tape specifically.
