A prisoner currently incarcerated at Corcoran’s California State Prison named Richard Dupree has stated that he intends to sue a number of the world’s biggest music acts—including Bey and Jay, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Chris Brown—alleging that they have stolen thousands of songs from him over the years. He says the crew have conspired with the FBI and the CIA, using satellites to obtain the lyrics he’s penned in his jail cell. His asking price? A measly $.2.4 billion.

They “robbed [him] for hundreds of millions, even billions, in the satellite organization,” Dupree claims. He demands the money in return for his stolen creative output, as well as “immediate freedom from prison,” according to music blog Re-Tox.
