Cypress Hill's Shagg wants 250 million

Published at 5:42 PM PST

Six years after the release of the hugely successful Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, another person wants part of the insatiable money pie. This time the backup singer for Cypress Hill, Michael “Shagg” Washington, wants 250 million from Rockstar...that's about 25% of the games total sales. The reason? He claims that back in 2003 he was introduced to Rockstar Games by a friend and they asked him about his life. He told them how in his teenage years he and his gang used to ride around on bicyles, unlike many teenagers in that era. In July of this year, after seeing images of CJ, Shaggy knew then that the likeness of his bicycle riding teenage years was "stolen". Using San Andreas, we were able to recreate Shaggy's teenage years and they were very interesting to say the least. In 1992, he got a call from his brother, also known as Sweet, while he was car-jacking his way through Liberty City New York. His brother broke the news that "moms" was dead. CJ Shaggy quickly flew home to Los Santos Los Angeles. Later in his life he met up with a hippy named The Truth. The Truth set him on a mission to invade Area 69 Area 53 and steal a 60 million dollar jet pack. He then later used that jet pack to steal green goo from the back of a train. We could go more in-depth about his story, but according to him it's all in the game he's never played...oops.
