Free the last remaining good Migo… long live takeoff

Offset is taking a cue from Taylor Swift, because he's beefing with his own label over ownership of his solo recordings.

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

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

In a response, filed by his attorney Bryan Freedman, Offset claims everything changed in 2021, when he and QC broke up and hammered out a new deal where he regained control of his solo work for everything he produced from January 2021 forward.

However, Quality Control says not so fast ... the label claims it still holds the rights to Offset's solo music.

The way Offset sees it ... QC walked away from the rights to his music when it cut the new deal with him in 2021, and he alone controls his solo masters from that point on.

Obviously, there's a ton of money at stake in this dispute, which is working its way through the courts ... and it's hard not to compare the situation to what we've seen in the past with Taylor fighting her old record label.

Remember, Taylor Swift stood up for her rights against Big Machine Records over ownership to her masters. She didn't win, but, nonetheless, Offset is walking that same path ... and hoping for a better outcome.

Sad

Sad turn of events for these guys man

I was just wondering why his album hasn’t dropped yet

Bought himself out the deal but QC claim they still own his music. SMFH

he been saying this since before Take passed

that he signed to QC under Migos but I guess didn't know that he was also signing away the rights to future solo releases
Offset wants to drop his next album without QC and this is a major reason why he split from the Migos originally. Quavo and Takeoff didn't really have the same gripes with QC and he probably felt like they weren't riding for him.

Still surreal we lost Takeoff

RIP

Yeah s***ty all round. He probably signed everything away when he was locked up.

Crazy how the group got destroyed

this is something i did not know wow

Bad Business, P**** and Quavo’s Ego does not mix.

Takeoff was really the rock of the group. S*** is not good vibes

Its f***ed up but if he signed a bad contract he is stuck

I don't really know how this will end for him.

Migos is finished and he can't drop music.... on top of Takeoff's death he is going thru a lot right now

OFFSET

Offset latest Vs. Quavo’s latest 🤣
