Think It’s A Game Ent. Sued Rich Homie Quan For Signing Deals Behind Its Back

Rich Homie Quan’s old record label is pissed off that the rapper has been doing business deals on the low – and has sued the rapper to stop him from releasing ANY music or entering into any other deals without their permission.

Earlier this year, the rapper filed a $2 million dollar lawsuit against record label Think It’s a Game Entertainment earlier this year. The rapper accused the label of screwing him out of music royalties for numerous albums including his biggest hits “Flex” and “Type of Way.”

Quan claimed the label’s CEO even used some of the money owed to him to buy a home in ATL and pocketed over $550,000 from a distribution deal the rapper signed with Def Jam. He also said he had cut ties with the label and the CEO but demanded $2 million in damages.

Then on September 9th, Think It’s a Game Entertainment fired back at the rapper’s suit. Accusing him of being an ungrateful artist who doesn’t know the in’s and out’s of the music industry. They explained they worked tireless hours and spent an enormous amount of money to take the rapper from a nobody to the top of his game.

Think It’s A Game Entertainment blasted the rapper’s lawsuit as being full of baseless allegations. They explained his contract with them was just like every other music contract for a newbie. The label demanded his entire lawsuit be thrown out.

Then on November 11th, the record label headed back to court and slapped Rich Homie Quan with a counter-suit accusing him of breaching their deal. Demanding an injunction against him from releasing ANY music and also prohibiting him from signing with another record label.

The Label

The record label stated that Rich Homie Quan signed an exclusive recording agreement with them in 2012. They invested significant time and money into promoting and marketing his career.

However, they claimed that several months after signing, he became dissatisfied with the deal and started demanding more money. The rapper began avoiding his contractual obligations.

According to the suit, Rich Homie Quan stopped consulting the label about his music, tours, endorsements, and appearances in spring 2013. He released mixtapes and songs independently, joined Wiz Khalifa’s tour, and became a spokesperson for Avion Tequila.

Think It’s A Game Entertainment alleged that the rapper failed to report earnings from unauthorized music releases. He also withheld details of his Tequila deal and profits from merchandise sold during the Wiz Khalifa tour.

The label filed a counter-suit demanding a full accounting of all money he earned from these ventures. They also sought an injunction to stop him from releasing unauthorized music or videos and to block him from signing a new record deal. They accused him of attempting to enter a new agreement despite his existing contract.

Think It’s A Game Entertainment emphasized that their agreement grants them 50% ownership of all his songs. They asked the court to confirm the validity of their original contract.
