Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and rappers Drake and Future are being sued for $10 million over the rights to 'Black Ice,' a hockey film.
Hunter goes on further to say that a deal was made behind his back between the accused defendants and the authors of the book"Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895 to 1925," which the documentary is adapted from.
NBA Player Lebron James and Rapper Drake attend the Uninterrupted Canada Launch held at Louis Louis at The St. Regis Toronto on Aug. 2, 2019 in Toronto, Canada. The authors, George and Darril Fosty, are also defendants. Hunter claims that he paid them $265,000 for the movie rights, though the Fostys say that a documentary does not violate Hunter's"exclusive worldwide license," which Hunter says he acquired for $250,000.
"A documentary is still a ‘motion picture’ and an ‘audiovisual adaptation’ and any claim to the contrary is absurd and made in bad faith," the lawsuit read.and Uninterrupted Canada as well as Drake and Future's Dreamcrew Entertainment firm listed as defendants.
