In 2023, St. Lunatics member Ali spoke with Shawn Prez about the financial struggles he faced as Nelly delayed his payments for months. He claimed the most he was owed at one point was between $70,000 to $90,000. The company's response to his issues compelled him to think about an exit strategy from Nelly to ensure his family's financial stability. Ali also discussed the challenges of group dynamics in the entertainment industry, highlighting how talented groups often break up due to outsiders influencing individual members, causing separation and strains in relationships. In recent news, St. Lunatics members Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud distanced themselves from Ali's $50 million lawsuit against Nelly.
