Offset reportedly drops lawsuit with Quality Control Records

nme.com:

Offset has reportedly dropped his lawsuit against his former record label Quality Control Music after reaching a settlement.Offset signed a production agreement with the Atlanta-based record label for his work in Migos and as a solo artist in 2013.

In February 2017, the rap trio signed with Motown and Capitol Records due to QC entering a joint venture with the former. Offset reportedly paid “handsomely” to get the rights to his solo music back to embark on his own career before his split from Migos.On August 8, TMZ reported that Offset has voluntarily dropped his lawsuit against Quality Control.

Last year, in August, Variety reported that the Georgia rapper alleged the label was claiming ownership over his recent solo work despite his claims of buying the rights to the music in 2021.

Offset claimed this agreement was violated when QC asserted ownership over his Baby Keem-produced solo single “5 4 3 2 1.”In the complaint, he claimed that the label’s alleged hold was “wrongful” and that it “knowingly violates Offset’s rights to his own music.” According to Pitchfork, Offset was seeking a judgment to ensure that QC maintains no rights, title, or interest in his solo work.In a statement, Quality Control said, “Not only are the accusations in this lawsuit false, they are totally detached from reality.
