Rising star Shaboozey is locked in a heated legal battle with his former record label, Kreshendo Entertainment, as both parties have filed lawsuits against each other. The “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer is suing Kreshendo for allegedly blocking his attempts to regain control of his publishing rights. However, Kreshendo is firing back with its own lawsuit, accusing Shaboozey of fraud.
According to court documents, Shaboozey claims that after terminating his publishing agreement with Kreshendo in 2019, he should be able to reclaim his songwriting rights by paying off 110% of the unrecouped balance from prior advances. He alleges that Warner-Tamerlane, the music publisher now handling his catalog, has refused to provide him with the necessary financial details to complete the buyout. Shaboozey suspects Kreshendo is behind the delay, allegedly instructing Warner-Tamerlane to keep him in the dark.
But Kreshendo is telling a different story. The label acknowledges it let Shaboozey out of his deal in 2019, but claims it retained the right to collect revenue from all of his musical compositions. Kreshendo accuses Shaboozey of pretending he didn’t know this arrangement existed, especially after “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became a massive hit. They’re now suing the artist for over $2 million, alleging that he’s trying to cut them out of the profits.
To add fuel to the fire, Shaboozey is also accusing Kreshendo of releasing several songs without his consent after their contract ended, further escalating the legal showdown.
As of now, neither Kreshendo nor Warner-Tamerlane have responded publicly to the accusations. With both sides digging in, this legal battle is far from over.
