Chingy, Trak Starz Sued By St. Louis Man

A St. Louis man is suing Chingy and Trak Starz LLC, alleging the platinum-selling rapper broke his recording contract in order to sign with The Trak Starz, who in turn landed him a deal with Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace label.
In a lawsuit filed in St. Louis County Court, Ronald Gavin claims that Chingy breached his contract at the behest of The Trak Starz, who then helped arrange a deal which produced Chingy's 2003 major label debut Jackpot, which was distributed by Capitol.
The
album produced several hit singles including "Right Thurr," which topped the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart for 4 weeks.
The album also contained the hit single "Holidae In," which featured Ludacris and Snoop Dogg and his since sold almost 3 million copies.
According to court documents, Gavin seeks over $250,000 in damages.
