"Straight outta compton" was a block buster hit when it made its debut in theaters across the world. The film directed by F. Gary Gray and produced by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube has grossed over $300 Million since August 14th, 2015. The film was a biopic of the legendary rap group N.W.A. It illustrated information behind the scenes, and what the group experienced during that time. Jerry Heller, former manager, filed a $110 million dollar lawsuit on Friday, October 30, 2015. He stated that the film portrayed him as a monster, leading the group to their demise; in which they branched off and did their own separate thing.
“The film is littered with false statements that harm the reputation of (Heller) and aim to ridicule and lower him in the opinion of the community and to deter third persons from associating or dealing with him,” the lawsuit states.
