Reggaeton Artist Ryan Castro Wins Lawsuit Against King Records, Indie Label Ordered to Pay $2 Million
variety.comThania Garcia Reggaeton artist Ryan Castro will be paid over $2 million, in addition to regaining the rights to his music, as part of a lawsuit he won against indie label King Records, Billboard reports.
The Colombian star, known for his chart-topping collaborations with Karol G, Peso Pluma, J Balvin and more, accused his label, King Records, of breach of contract and withholding royalties in a series of lawsuits filed in Medellín last year.
