Dec 19, 2010 | Joe Haruna/Nigeriafilms.com

If the gist at Buzz’s disposal is anything to go by then, veteran juju maestro, Prince Adekunle is set to take rapper, Ruggedman to court.

You might wonder why this veteran artiste wants to join issues with this hip hop artiste in court. The reason for this is not for fetched as we learnt that; Ruggedman used Prince Adekunle song to get back to 9ice without getting permission from Prince who is the owner of the song.

It will be recalled that 9ice has been joining issues with Ruggedman over Ruggedman’s closeness to his separated wife. This generated controversy in the industry to the extent that 9ice called Ruggedman all sorts of names in his newest album.
