Brandy Sues Record Label for Right to Record New Music

 
Brandy is taking her record label to court. The R&B songstress has filed suit against Chameleon Entertainment Group for $1 million, claiming that the New York-based label refused to let her drop new material as a way to get her to sign a deal with Epic Records.
In the suit, the 37-year-old says that Chameleon owner-CEO Breyon Prescott forced her to sign with Epic and release music through Chameleon, so he can double his profit.
According to Courthouse News Service, she is asking for $1 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, for intentional interference with contract, interference with business relations, and business law violations.
“Prescott owns and operates defendant Chameleon and is employed full time by Epic Records and head of urban A&R,” reads the complaint. “The new recording and distribution deal that he is trying to force Norwood to sign is with Epic, which allows him to ‘double dip’: if Prescott can force Norwood to sign the new deal, he will profit both as an owner of Chameleon and through bonuses and other benefits he will get from Epic.”
