I just found this bit of news a bit incredible and just...eeesh!

"Daughters Deanna Brown Thomas and Yamma Brown Lumar are suing their famous father for more than $1 million in back royalties. They say they cowrote 25 tunes with Brown, including his funky 1976 hit "Get Up Offa That Thing." And we almost forgot--according to the suit, the daughters helped compose said music when they were just six and three years old, respectively.

The seemingly prodigy progeny filed their suit in federal court in Atlanta, accusing Papa Brown of withholding royalty payments and seeking restitution for breach of contract, racketeering and negligence."

Read the whole thing here (they both are money making people already!):
