Berry Gordy's Nephews Sue Their Mother For Stealing Their Inheritance

When Irogue Ozage died in 2008 of prostate cancer, he willed his estate to sons Milan and Ife, but his ex-wife Krystal allegedly swooped in and stole the cash from their bank account.

Now, Milan (pictured) and Ife are suing their mother in an effort to recoup the money she is accused of stealing.

According to Blackarazzi, who first reported the story, the brothers had no idea a bank account containing $240,000 was set up in their names by All State Insurance after their father's death. (They say their mother committed fraud to gain access to the account and withdrew $173,000.)

Milan, 25, who's a model/actor/personal trainer, told Blackarazzi: "I dont want to send my mother to jail but she hasnt gave us a dime of the $173k in the past year & that she had it all this time without letting us know, and had i not tried to open up my account here in california i dont think she would have ever told us about the money, i dont want to send my own mother to jail but stealing $173k from your kids is just WRONG".

When we contacted him by e-mail, he told us his mother's only explanation for taking the money was "that she was entitled to [it] just like we [were], which is not true. They were divorced for 8 years and it was a bad divorce."

The drama will play out on Aug. 29 at 9am in a Chicago court.

[The brothers are nephews of Motown Records founder Berry Gordon. Here's how: Their father's brother Clifford was married to Berry's daughter Sherry. Got it? Good.]
