What's the 411? How about a lawsuit?
Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z are among the targets of a federal song-swiping suit by two New Jersey men.
Jermaine Jumpp and Michael C. Adams accuse Blige's renowned producer, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins of swiping the beat from their "On My Grind" for the Blige's "Enough Cryin'."
The plaintiffs claims they submitted a CD containing their song to Jerkins back in 2001 and were shocked when "Enough Cryin' " surfaced on 2005 album The Breakthrough. Jay-Z got a cowriting credit; they got bupkis.
No word why it took three years to file their suit. Calls to their lawyer were not immediately returned.
Neither Blige or Jigga are commenting yet. The two pals are frequent collaborators, most recently teaming up last spring for their Heart of the City tour.
