Scott Storch is dealing with a new lawsuit this morning.
The super producer is being sued for $100,000 by singer Treena Ruberg. Ruberg claims she agreed to pay Storch $45,000 for six songs in October 2011. $30,000 of that fee was reportedly paid up front. Storch admitted up he had a drug problem in the past, but was clean and sober. However, according to the lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Storch lied and "continued to have a drug addiction and other personal problems which rendered him incapable of producing any recordings."
Ruberg is suing for her original $30,000 payment, plus an additional $70,000 for other out of pocket expenses. Ruberg says she booked studio time, plane flights and had to eventually hire another producer.
Storch has produced records for 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Mystikal, Christina Aguilera and many more.
Eventually his hard living lifestyle caught up to him though. He blew $30 million in less than six months several years ago. His downfall was attributed to his cocaine habit.
He was reportedly getting help, but was busted for cocaine possession in Las Vegas on February, 4 2012.

Diggy Simmons shook up the hip hop world when a diss track aimed at J. Cole hit the internet over the weekend. Radio station KGGI 99.1 FM caught up with Diggy to find out the motivation behind the diss.
"It was really that my sister [Vanessa] like over a year ago told me he was saying he did this, that and the third with her because they went to the same college. But they didn't even know each other like that, so it wasn't like that," Diggy said. "She also told me that he subliminally also talked about her in a song called 'Purple Rain,' which is also false. So it was just me sticking up for my family."
Diggy goes on to say that he didn't leak the track, but both he and his dad, Rev. Run agreed that it's family over everything. He also added that he's not worried about Cole firing shots back at him.
