Former Boyfriend Jefe Wine Sues Iggy Azalea for ‘Mental Anguish’ From Alleged STD
Rapper Iggy Azalea's former boyfriend Maurice Williams, otherwise known as Jefe Wine, is willing to do whatever it takes to get money out of her, even accusing her of giving him a sexually transmitted disease, reports XXL magazine.
Williams, 39, is claiming that the MC gave him an unspecified STD that resulted in mental anguish. He wants compensation for the mental anguish, and payment of medical and legal bills.
In court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Williams said he can prove he received the STD from Azalea by a "preponderance of evidence." He has also requested a temporary restraining order to prevent Azalea from contacting him and threatening him.
Azalea addressed Williams' STD threat last year. On Oct. 17, the "Beg For It" singer wrote on Twitter, "I also was told yesterday via his lawyer if i do not settle out of court they will go to the press and say i gave him an STD, whats next?"
Williams met then 17-year-old Azalea when she arrived to the U.S. from Australia. Since their breakup, he has allegedly tried to extort money from the "Fancy" singer on multiple occasions.
Williams attempted to leak a sex tape featuring Azalea last year, according to XXL magazine. Azalea threatened to sue him if the tape was released.
Next, he allegedly stole several unfinished songs belonging to Azalea off her laptop and tried to sell them as a mixtape titled "Inizio." "The New Classic" star filed suit against him in September 2014 at which time a judge ruled in her favor, citing that he could not sell the stolen music.
Last October, he filed for divorce claiming they had a common law marriage -- a claim that Azalea's legal team fought and won. Williams and Azalea were never married.
Though Williams has been called a "gold digger" by some in the industry, he justified his actions to XXL magazine.
"I had a contract on her," Williams told XXL.
"I have a contract on her and in spite of her going to sign with a different label, in spite of her lying that she's not signed [to me], I took the high road," he explained. "Even though contractually I could have just stopped it from the very beginning. I said, 'I'm just going to take the song I wrote and produced, the songs that I can lawfully put out, and put it out.' When I did that and they got wind of it -- it's actually in iTunes and Warner Music put it out -- they attacked it. Like, 'Hey, you can't put this out.' That's when all of the smoke hit the fan."
The Australian singer and Los Angeles Lakers player Nick Young got engaged on June 2. The couple have been dating since October 2013.
