Madlib’s suit follows another filed in late 2023 by Jasmine Dumile Thompson, widow of MF Doom, who claimed that Alapatt exploited the late rapper’s 2010 move to the U.K. to obtain ownership of 31 notebooks containing unreleased lyrics and songs. Thompson’s suit argues that that her notoriously secretive husband, who passed away in 2020, would have wanted that material kept private, and seeks their return. Though Alapatt obtained the notebooks by legal means — he purchased them from Doom’s studio landlord for $12,500 in exchange for unpaid rent — he announced plans to donate them to a hip-hop archive, which Thompson is trying to stop.
