(AllHipHop News) T-Pain has been hit with a lawsuit by songwriter/former MTV reality star Sara Stokes, who claims the producer cheated her out of royalties for song they co-authored for R&B singer Jennifer Hudson.

Stokes rose to fame after being featured on Making The Band 2 and as a member of Diddy’s group Da Band, which released one album, Too Hot For TV (2003).

Saramony Entertainment filed the lawsuit on Friday (June 4th) in Missouri Eastern District Court, claiming she produced and co-wrote two songs with T-Pain, including Hudson’s tune “What’s Wrong (Go Away),” from the Grammy Award winning album Jennifer Hudson.

Stokes, claims that although Hudson’s album went Gold, she has received no producer, songwriter or performer credits for her role in created “What’s Wrong (Go Away).”

“Only slight deviations in the lyrics exist between Stokes’ version and the released version, whereas the whole musical composition is the exact same on which Stokes collaborated with Najm,” according to Stokes lawyer.

The former singer from Diddy’s MTV reality show Making The Band 2 has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her own husband.

Sara Stokes’ bloody mug shot was taken after the protege was arrested for domestic violence at their home in Moreno Valley, Calf. She’s in rough shape.

According to law enforcement sources, Sara stormed out of the house after arguing with husband Tony. She tripped, fell over and accused him of doing it.

Sources say Sara Stokes, who hurt her head in the fall, proceeded to grab a knife and stab Tony in the arm. Their three kids watched as it all went down.

Dawn Richard of Danity Kane talked up her forthcoming projects at MTV’s “Making The Band” Live Finale last night. Aside from collaborating with Diddy‘s new group Dirty Money for Last Train To Paris, Dawn says she would love to collaborate with new school R&B legend Brandy.

“I know I am not worthy yet,” says Dawn of a collaboration with Brandy. “I know I’m not worthy. She is the truth. She’s another one people sleep on. You know dark skin… deep voice. They sleep.”

Although nothing’s written in stone, Dawn furthered her bid for Brandy collabo with this accapella of “Angel In Disguise.”

Diddy says the only member of his Making The Band group, Danity Kane, that he will continue to work with is the one, the only… Dawn. As for the other members, they are released from their contracts.

So there is life after Diddy? The official music video for Babs Bunny’s “Odds & Evens”…

Memphis producers Jazze Pha & Drumma Boy are giving beat battle a whole other meaning. The two will compete with aspiring singers, etc. to see who can make the biggest hit.   Things have been way too calm since “Making The Bland” went off the air so bring it on. Tune into TBS January 19th.

“I still don’t know how I’m going to feed my family,” says Danity Kane member Dawn Richard just moments after MTV’s “Making The Band” live season finale. “Isn’t that awful? Isn’t that just crazy? Like, what just happened? All of this joking and playing aside, this is not funny. This is our lives.”

Dawn, like the countless others who watched the season four finale, found herself questioning the group’s fate after Diddy unexpectantly dismissed group members D. Woods and Aubrey. Unlike previous season endings, there were no splashy performances, Diddy didn’t bother to show up and the sense of family once fostered by the members of the successful quintet appeared fractured.

Despite the apparent disconnect, Dawn feels more ready than ever to get to work. “I would love to continue as Danity Kane, I want to be in this music industry and I never saw this without all five of us in the picture. However, I am beyond all of that now,” says Dawn. “I want to work. And that means I am ready to work when somebody says lets perform. And I’ll perform with whomever is with me. So if no one is gonna get on that train and perform with me as DK then I’m just going to keep going. I would love for everyone to be on the same page, but as you can see, everyone is on a different page… thus, the confusion.”

The new found confidence in Dawn’s voice probably has less to do with this all being some sort of cliff hanging publicity stunt for season five and more to do with the rumblings of her solo CD rumored to be released in February of ’09 while the other members of Danity Kane, “figure it out.”

“There is a lot being said. And what’s funny is I am not even the one that is mentioning it,” says Dawn of the rumors. “I am hearing it from my group members, from Bad Boy, from everywhere. I am flattered and I am honored and if that is the case, then please sign me up.”

Although Dawn is smart enough not to deny or confirm the rumors, she does admit to doing some “project work” with Diddy at Daddy’s House earlier this week for her first quarter solo set.

Interestingly, Dawn may not be able to confirm details of her new CD or whether the new season of “Making The Band” will seek out two new members to replace D. Woods and Aubrey or if Diddy’s new solo project will be next season’s focus, she is sure of one thing and that is the real work is just begun.

“I can’t answer any of that stuff, but what I can tell you is, I’m ready to perform.”–KEVIN R. SCOTT
