Tupac's Mother Sues Death Row for $1.1 Million and Unreleased Tracks
. According to Billboard, Ms. Shakur filed a lawsuit this week (Sept. 25) in L.A. Superior Court against Entertainment One, the Canadian company that purchased the Death Row catalog, seeking $1.1 million in unpaid royalties and all master recordings of the rapper's unreleased material. At the root of the lawsuit is a 1997 settlement between the Shakur estate and Suge Knight's Death Row that gave the ownership of the rapper's unfinished music to Shakur outside of one album's worth of music, as well as any royalties generated from all Tupac record sales. While One Entertainment purchased the Death Row catalog after the label filed for bankruptcy in 2006, the deal also saddled the company with Death Row's sizable debts, including the Tupac Shakur masters and royalties, hence the lawsuit. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
