Liza Womack, the mother of rapper Lil Peep – who died of a drug overdose while on tour in 2017 – says that newly unsealed documents prove that her son’s management company, First Access Artists, should be help liable for his death.A collection of evidence spanning nearly 400 pages was published by the Los Angeles Superior Court last month, after First Access unsuccessfully argued for seven pages of that evidence to be sealed.The seven pages included text messages from 2017 that were sent by tour manager Belinda Mercer to colleagues after she was found with illegal substances in her bag when Peep’s tour bus was stopped at the Canadian border weeks before his death.Womack and her legal team argue that these texts, and other newly published evidence, support their claim that the rapper was provided with and urged to take drugs by his team.When First Access sought to keep some of the evidence sealed last October, Womack’s lawyers wrote in response, according to Pitchfork: “These seven pages help tell the story of the drug-infected mismanagement that is part of [Womack’s] central narrative and led to her son’s death. What these documents mostly contain are exchanges that reveal [First Access] tour management as dangerous, discordant, inept, and engaged in conduct that contributed to [Peep]’s death”.Lil Peep, real name Gustav Åhr, died in November 2017 of an accidental drugs overdose, aged 21.

The widow of Ol Dirty Bastard – Icelene Jones – is suing Wu-Tang Productions, claiming that it has “wilfully refused” to pay the ODB estate at least $1 million in royalties stemming from the late rapper’s solo recordings and his work with Wu-Tang Clan.The lawsuit, which was filed in New York earlier this week, claims that the label – owned by Wu-Tang leader RZA – has failed to pay out proper royalties or provide accounts for more than ten years, instead making occasional payments without any real information on what they relate to.It says that ODB’s agreement with Wu-Tang Productions prior to his death in 2004 stated that he would receive 50% of any publishing income from his work, while 50% of net recordings income would be shared between the artists appearing on each track. Recordings income was meant to be paid within 45 days of receipt by the label, with publishing income paid twice yearly.
