T-Pain Demands $489K From Akon’s Label After Failed Settlement

T-Pain is back in court against the label that once saved his career, and this time the stakes are about a settlement that apparently didn’t stick. The Atlanta rapper filed suit against Konvict Entertainment on Friday, claiming the company owes him nearly half a million dollars in royalties that should’ve been paid out months ago. According to the AJC, the $489,047 dispute stems from a $1.3 million payment the label received from a distributor at the end of March, money that T-Pain says he’s entitled to under his original 2005 recording deal.
