Iggy Azalea Files Federal Lawsuit Against Sex Tape Partner Jefe Wine For Theft Of Unreleased Music & Forgery (Video)
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.

Gucci Mane Sentenced To 3 More Years In Prison For Hitting Fan In The Head With Champagne Bottle
Gucci Mane was expected to to be released from prison in December 2016, after serving time for gun charges. However, three more years have been added to the 1017 Brick Squad boss' sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a fan in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday, September, 15.
The incident occurred at Harlem Nights club in Atlanta on March 16, 2013, when 32-year-old soldier James Leonard Lettley asked Gucci to take a photo with him. The rapper responded by striking him in the head with a champagne bottle.
"I'm in the military. I wanted to get a picture with Gucci Mane, is it OK?" James asked a security guard. "I was speaking to the security guard, and Gucci Mane hit me in the head with a bottle. And as I looked at him in the shock of why, one of his friends hit me in the side of my face.".
“Rather than accommodating the admiring fan, Davis, for no explicable reason, instead, hit the victim over the head with a vodka bottle and then hurriedly left the club,” District Attorney Paul Howard said in a statement. “The victim sustained a deep laceration to his forehead which required ten stitches.”
The three year sentence was handed down by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Tom Campbell, according to The Atlanta Constitution Journal.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Houston rapper Jefe Wine has Iggy's, real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly, signature on a contract giving him exclusive rights to "manufacture, sell, distribute and advertise 'any' recording embodying visual images."
Despite the fact that the agreement is a recording contract, Jefe believes it also covers the sex tape and gives him the rights to sell it. It also prevents Iggy from legally blocking it.
