Hot 97 — Music: “T-Pain says his agreement entitles him to 75 percent of Konvict’s net royalties.” Source

theJasmineBRAND — Entertainment: “T-Pain … claims the label is sitting on nearly $500,000.” Source

Echotitbits take: The allegations remain unproven until tested in court, but the case is another reminder that catalogue accounting can remain contentious long after commercial success.
