According to Jam 2 business contact, Brian Hugh, Jam 2's brother, Trevor James was
affiliated to Hogan's label, Sobe Entertainment and it was he who brought the two
entities together.
"Sometime in 2006 Brooke Hogan and her reps from SoBe visited King Jammy's studio

According to the release, the production also included a 2001 song performed and

SoBe Entertainment both of which returned unanswered. Mr Jekeilek was then
instructed to take full action and on Monday August 2, 2010, a formal lawsuit was

"The Pro Tools file is an important pice of evidence and it tells the history of the

Jam 2 is claiming US$200,000, including punitive damages for failure to pay and credit
Jam 2 Productions on the musical composition, melody and lyrics of the song Trust Me
which is performed by Brooke Hogan on the album The Redemption.
Hughes admitted that while it was not the norm for producers to work on project without
an advance, there are cases when "agreements are worked out". — Yasmine Peru
