Wu-Tang Clan member U-God has reportedly asked New Jersey police for protection because he fears that people affiliated with the rap group are out for his life.

According to The Jersey Journal, U-God contacted police last month saying that he has been stalked by various men in various vehicles with different state license plates in the past two months.

U-God claims that the men have been following him from his Manhattan recording studio to his New Jersey home.

The rapper claims on one occasion while he was walking out of the garage of his building, two men got out of a car across the street and one of them gestured toward his waistband as though he had a weapon.

U-God also claims that his stalkers have also tried to follow him into his garage but have been unsuccessful.  The rapper also claims sometimes the drivers roll down a window and nod at him.

U-God (born Lamont Hawkins) told police that he believes that the reason he is being followed and intimidated is because he filed an $180,000 lawsuit against Wu-Tang Music in January.

U-God's suit alleges that Wu Tang Music failed to pay him for his work on a Wu-Tang album, his tour participation and his cu t from a European record contract.

U-God has filed a suspicious persons report and no one has been charged.  The rapper could not be contacted for comment yesterday (July 8).
