Last year, Offset taken legal action against Quality Control for reneging on a deal they made concerning his solo music.
The trigger was when the label attempted to claim Set’s Baby Keem-produced solo single “54321”, which Offset thought he had actually put out separately.
Now QC is shooting back on 2 fronts.
First, they are stating they are still the rights holder. They are likewise stating Set breached the personal stipulation of a secret agreement modification they signed by talking about the circumstance on social networks.
As such, they desire the case tossed from court.
“Having continued to accept the advantages of working straight with Capitol (after Defendant appointed to Offset its rights under the Offset/Capital Agreement) in connection with the production of recordings as works for hire, and because, under the Label Deal Agreement, as changed, one hundred percent of the copyright rights in recordings made by Offset as works for hire for Capitol are instantly appointed by Capitol to Quality Control, Plaintiffs are estopped from taking the position in this action that they are the owner of such recordings, instead of Capitol or its assignee, Quality Control,” QC argued.
