Ex-Girlfriend Slaps Drake With Lawsuit Over "Marvin's Room"

Drake is known for pouring his heart out on his albums over past relationships, but an ex-girlfriend is suing over the track "Marvin's Room."

Ericka Lee is claiming that she is the voice on the phone of Drake's hit single, and she's suing because Drake didn't share co-writer royalties on the song. Lee filed the lawsuit on February 2nd, claiming that she and Drake had a romantic and business relationship from early 2010 to mid 2011. Their business relationship consisted of trading poems, song lyrics and discussing joint creative projects.

Lee also claims that before Drake began recording "Marvin's Room," they agreed to work together and split the proceeds. She was asked to provide the beginning monologue and the phone conversation, which serves as the framework for the single, where Drake yearns for an ex after fame got in the way.

Drake allegedly acknowledged Lee's contributions on the single via text, saying "U basically made that song," and "It's s--t without you."

Lee was credited on the song as "Syren Lyric Muse," which the two registered the sound recording at the  U.S. Copyright Office. After the song was released Drake and Lee ended their relationship and things got ugly, fast.

The complaint also revealed that Drake initially offered her 4-5% of "publishing royalties" and $50,000 to go away, but she's persistent in getting what she believes is hers. She's demanding that a judge declare her co-writer of the song, along with damages and disgorgement of profits on allegations of breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment.
