The ongoing legal woes over atCash Money Recordscontinue to mount with the latest move involving former artist,Jay Sean. The company has to pay back the British singer’s production company a total of $1.14 million in back royalties over a handful of songs Jay Sean recorded some time ago.
Billboardreports:
Cash Money Records owes Orange Factory Music $1.14 million in royalties owed for songs produced for Jay Sean dating back to Dec. 31, 2012, a Louisiana magistrate judge ruled on Wednesday.
The lawsuit against Cash Money included a number of songs that Orange Factory produced on contract, as well as some that were produced without any written agreement.
Those with a contract were “Down,” “Fire,” “Lights Off,” “Do You,” “Do You Remember,” “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Love Like This” and “War” from Jay Sean’s 2009 All or Nothing album.
The songs without a contract in place were from the British R&B singer’s 2012 So High Japan-edition release, including tracks “2012,” “Hit the Lights,” “Like This Like That” and “I’m All Yours.”
The judge in the case made a legal recommendation in favor of Sean’s team which states that the royalties owed from theAll or Nothingalbum officially stand and that Orange Factory should also receive songwriter’s credit in a second set of songs thus setting what they’re owed at 50 percent.
The recommendation has to be adopted by a District Court Judge to become official.
