"Big Girls Don't Cry" Controversy
In 2006, the song Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie was presented to Bad Boy Records where it was handed to Jordan McCoy. McCoy's team felt they had a huge hit on their hands and quickly recorded the song assuring Fergie and her management that they were going to release it as a potential second single. However, according to McCoy, after Fergie heard their finished version, she had a change of heart and recorded her song for her debut solo album "
The Dutchess ". Jordan and her team were upset by Fergie's decision, and scrapped the entire project and considered suing Fergie. However, because Fergie was a co-writer of the song, nothing could be done about it.
