Looks like Drake is running into a little trouble stemming from the woman who’s speaking to Drake during his drunk-dial calls on the track “Marvin’s Room.” Erika Lee, allegedly Drake’s ex-girlfriend, has stated that she is the voice asking ”Are you drunk right now?” on the track, and is suing for Drake excluding her from sharing co-writer royalties. According to Billboard, Lee filed a lawsuit in California federal court yesterday looking to get credit as a co-writer of the song and is seeking damages and disgorgement of profits on allegations of breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. We’ll just have to wait and see how things turn out.

UPDATE: A spokeswoman from Drake’s camp has issued a statement responding to lawsuit by ex-girlfriend Ericka Lee, who is asking for co-writing credits on the song “Marvin’s Room” and seeking other damages:

“This claim is entirely without merit and our client has not engaged in any wrongful conduct. Ericka Lee consented to the use of her voice in the song ‘Marvin’s Room’ prior to its release. Lee asked only for the credit she received as ‘Syren Lyric Muse,’ and she did not ask for any compensation. It was only after she retained a lawyer that there was a demand for payment. Drake tried for months to resolve the matter amicably, and he now looks forward to being vindicated in court.”
