As previously reported, a producer by the name of Chauncey Mahan (who Just Blaze later revealed is simply an engineer and was “never the brightest”) was detained by police over the weekend after Jay Z’s camp accused him of extortion. Apparently, he stole the masters to Volume 3 and Dynasty, and is attempting to charge them a “storage fee” to get them back. Now Chauncey is speaking out to clear his name, and says he didn’t steal anything. According to Chauncey, Jay’s previous label Def Jam asked him to keep track of the recordings in 2002 because no one else was doing it. “[Jay Z] was a stupid kid smoking blunts,” he explained, adding that he was reckless with his intellectual property, so he was simply doing him a favor. He says in the last decade, he’s tried numerous times to get in contact with Hov and let him know he had the masters, but no one ever replied. He finally asked for money because he “could no longer afford to keep the masters in storage.” Police have since taken possession of the tapes until a judge can determine rightful ownership.
Wow: Ludacris Reveals Extortion Plot From New Baby’s Mother
When you do dirt, it gets messy! As previously reported, Ludacris stepped out on his longtime girlfriend Eudoxie (they were reportedly “on a break” — sure!) and fathered a child with a woman by the name of Tamika Fuller. As the pair hit the courtroom for the customary child support battle, documents with details are starting to leak to the public, and they are full of some interesting tidbits! In docs filed from Luda’s end back in September, the famous rapper pleaded with the judge to issue a gag order on Tamika because he is “a major celebrity of great notoriety,” and that it was essential because Tamika was attempting to extort him for a car and $7500 for lawyer fees, or else she’d go public. Clearly, the gag order never happened. LOL. No word on if Tamika got her car, though! Meanwhile…Eudoxie is sticking by her man!
