Ghostface Killah aka Tony Starks is being sued by Iron Man composer Jack Urbont for illegally sampling his “Iron Man Theme,” originally created for the 1960s television show, The Marvel Super Heroes. On Ghostface second album , “Supreme Clientele,” Killah allegedly “copied” the Urbont-written “Iron Man Theme” on two tracks. The album was released in 2000 but yet the plaintiff waits for 11 years to go by to finally sue.

According to the complaint: “Defendant Ghostface is also known for the nickname, ‘Tony Starks,’ which is a take-off of the name ‘Tony Stark,’ Iron Man’s real name and true identity. In this way, Defendants’ use of Urbont’s ‘Iron Man Theme’ gives them a substantial commercial advantage by linking Ghostface to Iron Man without paying for it.”
