The widow of rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard hawked his prized final album for a song.
So says ODB's former manager, Jarred Weisfeld, who claims Icelene Jones quietly signed away the rights to "A Son Unique," the singer's posthumously- released album, and spent the proceeds.
"She sold out for peanuts," said Weisfeld, who said he was told the price was as little as $10,000.
Weisfeld believed that the album could have brought in millions for ODB's survivors, who include his mother, Cherry Jones, and four baby mamas who bore his children.
Family members and Weisfeld have squared off in Brooklyn Surrogate Court, for control over what's left of his career earnings. Icelene Jones did not return calls.

Legend has it, iTunes had it available for one day in August 2005 and then took it off immediately. Pretty sure it wasn't the final product they had up, but I'm basing that on nothing.truthaddict wrote:Didn't this leak like 7 years ago? I actually still listen to it sometimes, though.
the song with the Macy Gray hook, Method Man and Raekwon is good.
