Iggy Azalea's alleged sex tape is probably in danger of being sold as her ex-boyfriend who reportedly starred with her in the video claimed that the female rapper had signed her rights away to him.
Last week, porn company Vivid Entertainment issued a press release stating that it was marketed an explicit video starring the famous Australian rapper. Azalea's reps initially denied the tape, but later said if such video exists, they would sue all parties involved for the following reasons: Iggy was probably underage when the film was shot, she didn't know she was being filmed and the name "Iggy" is protected by U.S. Trademark.
Just recently however, Houston-based rapper Hefe Wine, who reportedly is Azalea's ex-boyfriend and former manager, claimed that Iggy had signed a contract with "exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, distribute and advertise 'any' recording embodying visual images," TMZ reported.
Wine, also known as Wine O, also asserted that Azalea, born Amethyst Amela Kelly, was 18 years old when he met her, and she was fully aware that she was being filmed for the tape.
"Yes Wine O is with her in the tape and he's claiming he has the right to sell it," Vivid CEO Steven Hirsch told FOX411.
Wine reportedly believes that the signed 2009 contract gives him legal rights to market the tape exclusively, and all he has to do is overlay some music on the video to release it.
However, entertainment attorney Domenic Romano told FOX411: "When the parties to a contract are mistaken as to the scope or nature of the agreement, courts will either fill the gaps with reasonable and customary terms or modify the contract to express the true intentions of the parties."
" If Iggy Azalea did not expect that her contract would govern their sex tape, then she could argue that a more customary term should be inserted instead, like the one suggested above," he continued.
And as to Wine's plan of adding music to the video, Romano said: "Since the phrase 'recording embodying visual images' usually refers to videotaped performances of a recorded popular song, Iggy could argue that Hefe Wine's intended use of the video runs against the customary definition of the term."
