Summary
Jermaine Dupri is suing Sony Music for over $18 million in unpaid royalties, alleging decades of financial mismanagement tied to his So-So Def label — which worked with Sony since 1993. The suit covers hits by Mariah Carey, Usher, Xscape, and others, with Dupri’s team disputing Sony’s claims that artists like Xscape still owed advances — arguing platinum albums should’ve covered those debts. This 32-year dispute underscores the murky financial waters of the music industry, and Sony has yet to respond. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
