Offset Fighting with Record Label Quality Control for Solo Work Rights

TMZ.com

Offset is inspired by Taylor Swift, as he argues with his own label over the ownership of his solo recordings.

The Migos rapper is in the midst of a bitter legal war with Quality Control Music, and according to new legal documents, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, the saga began in 2013 when Offset agreed to produce solo records for the label.

Things were going well and good until 2015, when Offset claims Quality Control entered into a separate deal with Capitol Records - the result of which was that QC ended up owning 100% of all future solo recordings by Offset created between 2018 and 2023. We'll get back to that.

In a response, filed by his attorney Bryan Freedman, Offset claims everything changed in 2021, when he and QC parted ways and struck a new deal where he regained control of his solo work for whatever he produced from January 2021.

However, Quality Control says not so fast...the label claims it still owns the rights to Offset's solo music based on the previous deal with Capitol Records, an argument Offset now insists on. on the ridiculous.

The way Offset sees it...QC waived the rights to his music when he signed the new deal with him in 2021, and he has sole control of his solo masters from then on.

Clearly, there's a ton of money at stake in this dispute, which is making its way through the courts...and it's hard not to compare the situation to what we've seen in the past with Taylor battling her former tag record.

Remember that TS defended their rights against Big Machine Records over the ownership of their masters. She didn't win...
