The widow of Wu-Tang Clan member Ol’ Dirty Bastard has filed a cease and desist order against Rock The Bells to stop a planned hologram performance from the late rapper.

Icelene Jones, who spoke exclusively with HipHopDX, claims she was never approached about the performance even though she alone has the rights to approve whether or not someone can use the likeness of her late husband. While this may seem like a move to stop the production altogether, that does not seem to be what Jones is after. In fact, Jones may even back the idea, saying in a press release “I am looking forward to talking to Wu-Tang about this matter and coming up with a positive solution in order to bring my husband to the stage once again.”

ODB’s mother Cherry Jones appeared at the press conference announcing the festival and offered her blessing. Cherry and Icelene have been at odds with each other since the rapper death in 2004. So far, no comments from Rock The Bells or the members of Wu-Tang Clan have surfaced.
