A federal judge slapped Ali Jones, a former St. Lunatics member who sued over royalties from Nelly’s 2000 hit album, with a $67,000 bill for legal fees, calling the lawsuit “completely baseless.” Three other ex-members backed out early, saying they never authorized the suit. The judge approved the defense team’s billing, trimming some hours for unclear entries, and sent a clear message: frivolous lawsuits won’t be tolerated. Another judge had already warned Ali’s lawyer about dragging things out in bad faith. This win underscores that even in music, defending your name can cost — and sometimes, the court backs the artist. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
