The-Dream and Christina Milian are fighting over their divorce settlement, which includes The-Dream giving the singer 10 percent of his publishing interest in Justin Bieber's hit "Baby." The-Dream co-wrote the song with Bieber, Milian, Tricky Stewart and Ludacris.

According to TMZ, Milian is attempting to renegotiate the settlement with demands for more money and a larger percentage of the "Baby" publishing rights. As a result, The-Dream is threatening to cancel the agreement altogether. This may not be possible, since documents are on file in Georgia detailing the estranged couple's settlement.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
