Kanye West sues Roc-A-Fella Records over song publishing and recording contracts. The Chicago rapper filed two lawsuits, one against Roc-A-Fella Records, Def Jam Recordings, UMG Recordings, and Bravado International Group. The other names EMI April Music.
Reported by The Blast, “heavily redacted” court documents display minimal details. Kanye West sues Roc-A-Fella over “the parties’ rights and obligations to one another under the Recording Agreement and Extensions.”
Listed against Roc-A-Fella in documents obtained by The Blast, the visible text describes Kanye West’s career and work done with Jay Z on The Blueprint including writing and producing. For EMI April Music, the dispute lies on contract obligations.
While details of both legal cases remain in the dark, West seeks rights due under contract and an undisclosed monetary judgement.
