Earlier this week a prospective artist on Too Short's record label filed a lawsuit accusing the Oakland rapper of sexual battery [click here if you missed that].
Too Short calls the claims flat out extortion...
Too Short tells TMZ
"This is blatant outright extortion. I'm being extorted. It's not a criminal case...It can only be extortion. It's not anything else. They want money."
"For a while there I thought it was something other, but now I know for a fact its only about money, so my only choice is to counter sue for slander and get a restraining order and anything else to get this out of my life."
