The estate of MF DOOM has accused Now-Again Records founder Eothen “Egon” Alapatt of not returning the late rapper’s rhyme books.
The estate of MF DOOM is still going after Now-Again Records founder Eothen “Egon” Alapatt. On Wednesday (March 1), DOOM’s Twitter page posted a tweet reading “Egon Give the Notebooks Back,” with Gmail screenshots with emails between Alapatt, DOOM’s widow Jasmine Dumile, and presumably the late MC himself under the pseudonym Karlo Metal-Franks.
“Peace E,” reads an email directed to Alapatt in August 2016. “Any word from [redacted] on my belongings. I really need those notebooks.”
“I have no idea where [redacted] is,” read Alapatt’s response. “As I told [redacted] when she contacted me… He disappeared when his family sold the building, which, from what I understand, has been gutted. I know from working with [redacted] that they carted away dumpsters full of stuff.”
