The 90's R&B group are unforunately no longer smooth crooning out #1 hits, but instead they are fighting for the legalities of their group name "Blackstreet". The main heat comes between Chauncey Black, who is a founder of the group, and the other is of course Teddy Riley who is also a founding member of the group.
Sources say that Chauncey is completely angered with the way Riley has been doing business, as he claims Riley has been using the name illegally. Thing is, Riley's ownership expired and once this ownership expired, Chauncey Black snatched up those rights. However, Teddy continued to use the name without consent and now Chauncey is taking him to court for continuing to perform under the name.
Here's where it gets a little more scandalous. Teddy has been openly using the name with ANOTHER group posing as if THEY were Blackstreet!
Now that's just disrespectful dude.
In response, according to TMZ, Riley's rep says:
"At this time we have no comment on ANY of the ridiculous and frivolous claims APPARENTLY being made by Chauncey Andre Hannibal aka 'Black."Welp! In the words of the ORIGINAL Blackstreet... SHORTY GET DOWWWWN, GOOD LORRRD!!
