The rapper and former VH1 reality star has filed a lawsuit against Chuck D.

TMZ reports that Flavor Flav (real name William Drayton) has sued Chuck D (real name Carlton Douglas Ridenhou) over a royalty dispute regarding profits made by their rap group Public Enemy. In the suit, Flav, 58, claims that he hasn’t received a royalty check in years, despite allegedly having an agreement with Chuck D to share all money earned from music, live concerts, and merchandise. And, apparently, Flav is especially angry because he’s written over 50 of Public Enemy’s songs.
