Prince SLAPPED With A Lawsuit!!!
Prince slapped with a lawsuit by producer Jolene Cherry, who claims he disrupted her plans to release Judith Hill’s debut album via Sony Music.
CelebNMusic247.com has just caught word that music producer Jolene Cherry (whose credits include Lady Gaga’s “The Fame”) alleges that Prince re-recorded and released tracks she owned with Sony Music. She claims that he BREACHED Hill’s contract. According to TheWrap Prince is being sued for allegedly poaching ‘The Voice’ contestant Judith Hill and then releasing stolen tracks.

Here’s the drop:
Hill signed with Sony via Cherry’s imprint The Cherry Party following a 2013 run on NBC’s “The Voice,” working with the producer who is credited on Lady Gaga’s smash debut “The Fame.”
In the court documents obtained by TheWrap, Cherry says she caught wind of Hill and Prince holding recording sessions and warned against distracting from Cherry’s efforts and potentially breaching contract.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles County on Friday, goes on to allege that Hill asked directly for permission to record a joint album with Prince and was denied. The pair continued working together, however, resulting in last week’s digital release of the record “Back in Time” — which was offered as a free download, even carrying an introductory note from Prince.
