Big Pun’s Widow Begs Judge To Free Him From Fat Joe’s Bad Contract
BOSSIP Exclusive: Big Pun’s Widow Begs Judge To Free Him From Fat Joe’s Bad Contract Over $2 Mill Royalties
But Brian Caplan, the lawyer for Jelly’s Jams, said his client had no obligation to pay Pun directly, because Jelly’s Jams’ deal was with Fat Joe, not Big Pun.
A judge has already ruled that only Fat Joe – not Jelly’s Jams – would be responsible for paying Big Pun’s back royalties. But Rios also sued both for money damages, and her lawyer asked the court to recalculate all of Pun’s royalties since 1998 so they can figure out exactly how much the damages should be.
“The experts on this case are saying there were $2 million in royalties owed,” Rosario said. “There is a complete basis for recalculating the entire royalties. That balance carries forward.”
But Caplan and Fat Joe’s lawyer Ben Stranzl objected to this, and asked the judge to calculate Pun’s royalties from 2008 onwards because of the statute of limitations.
