Ludacris Foundation sued
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 October 2009
The Ludacris Foundation, a charity set up by rapper Ludacris, is being sued by a lawyer who claims the organisation refused to pay a legal bill.
Carton Fields filed legal papers at the Fulton County Superior Court last Friday, alleging that the Foundation is withholding payment of $61,680. The fee relates to a personal injury claim against the charity, for which it hired Fields for legal representation. He ended his professional relationship with the charity in April this year, he says, after the organisation “refused to pay” him. He is seeking court costs on top of the outstanding amount.
Set up in 2001, The Ludacris Foundation “inspires youth through education and memorable experiences to live their dreams by uplifting families, communities and fostering economic development”.
