Wu Tang Clan face image right claim from Ol' Dirty Bastard widow

The widow of Ol' Dirty Bastard has launched legal action to prevent a hologram of the late Wu Tang Clan founder, real name Russell Jones, being used as part of a set the Wu Tang Clan plan at the  Rock The Bells touring hip hop festival, which takes place in September. Icelene Jones, who controls the rapper's estate and copyrights, says that she has not been consulted about the plans, adding: "I am disappointed that Rock The Bells would not contact me directly about the use of my husband's image. I am looking forward to talking to Wu-Tang about this matter and coming up with a positive solution". Wu Tang Clan's plans, which follow the appearance of a Tupac hologram at Coachella 2012, are seemingly endorsed by Ol' Dirty Bastard's mother Cherry Jones, who attended a press conference announcing the Rock The Bells venture last week.
