This comes as no surprise but, the news is the news so I must report it! Producer Deezle had sued Wayne over production on the Carter III, claiming he produced several songs on the album but was never paid for his work. The YMCMB camp is INFAMOUS for not paying producers, and equally infamous for paying up once you sue them…and with no bad blood! Deezle was and is still very much cool with the gang. Such a weird dynamic over there but anyway, he won the settlement. Details below.
According to Darius Harrison — aka Deezle, the album grossed over $70 million — and he wanted $20 million to call it even.
Wayne initially shot him down — claiming Darius had no grounds to sue — but the two parties recently reached a confidential agreement, finally settling the case.
The case has since been dismissed.
