Offset has been wrapped up in a legal battle with his former label Quality Control over ownership of his solo music. Previously, the label accused the former Migos rapper of breaching a secret legal agreement that included a confidentiality clause. Now, Offset has claimed that QC is attempting to take full ownership of solo projects on the horizon, even though he paid a large sum of money to get out of his contract.
After releasing his single “54321,” the rapper accused QC of trying to take ownership of his song even after they made a deal designed for Offset to reclaim the rights to his music. QC asked that the suit against them be thrown out, which prompted Offset’s legal team to respond.
“Quality Control no longer owns the copyright to Offset’s solo sound recordings and is no longer licensing Offset’s solo sound recordings to Capitol, and Capitol has acquired ownership of Offset’s solo sound recordings directly from Offset,” said Offset’s lawyer. The rapper’s lawyer continued, saying, “Wrongful interference with the upcoming release of Offset’s new music and continued instance of being credited as the owner of Offset’s new solo sound recordings is groundless and unjustified.” Offset’s legal team also asked that the countersuit against the rapper over an alleged breach of contract be dropped. Stay tuned for more updates.
