filed a lawsuit against R&S in February 2021 for unfair dismissal, citing racial discrimination in an employment tribunal.At the time, the label denied the claims on behalf of its boss Renaat Vandepapeliere.
In a statement, co-founder Sabine Maes said: “Mr Renaat Vandepapeliere is certainly not racist and everyone at R&S Records embraces equality.”Chaudhuri said his year-long tenure at the label, where he was paid £1,000 a month, ended “with no warning” in September 2020.
His dismissal came after Vandepapeliere allegedly engaged in a public spat with former R&S artist Eddington Again.The LA-based musician published an email exchange with the label boss, in which he questioned why R&S had signed so few black and female artists.
In response Vandepapeliere is said to have written: “We are not a political party” and “I sign music I can find – I don’t sign color mate”.Now, as the BBC reports, the lawsuit has been dismissed on a technicality because Chaudhuri was a freelancer, not a label employee.
