Lady Gaga Sued Over Teeth
Music producer and singer Teddy Riley a member of
1990s hip-hop group Blackstreet - has filed a lawsuit against the 27-year-old
pop star, claiming he hasn't received any of the payments he is owed after the
song was included on her smash hit The Fame Monster EP.
Teddy, says he was promised 25% of the writing fees
for the song but has not been paid at all, and he is now seeking a sum of $500 000 as well as punitive damages.
Gaga's Fame Monster EP, was released after her
debut album is credited with establishing her as one of the most popular music
artists today and it also features hit songs such as Telephone, Bad Romance and
Alejandro. In January, Teddy hit the headlines after he sued
his own daughter, aspiring songwriter Taja Riley, after she allegedly claimed
she co-wrote Teeth.
Taja landed a music publishing deal as a result of
her supposed involvement, however, Teddy insists his daughter's claims about
her "participation in the creation of the composition, authorship, and
ownership [of Teeth are all false and untrue".
