As a part of his denial, Memphitz has officially taken this drama to court. The executive of Hitz Committee Records says that he and his family have suffered tremendously while VH-1, Monami Ent.,
and the other companies provided a worldwide platform for K. Michelle to repeatedly assassinate his character.
