George Clinton Sues for $100M Over Music Rights

George Clinton has filed a $100 million lawsuit against his former business partner, Armen Boladian, accusing him of fraudulently acquiring the rights to nearly 90% of Clinton's music catalog. The lawsuit, filed in Florida federal court, alleges that Boladian engaged in deceptive practices such as forging Clinton's signature and adding fictitious songwriters to dilute royalties. Clinton claims significant economic injury from Boladian's actions, which include withholding millions in royalties and fabricating agreements. Boladian, who has been involved in similar disputes with Clinton for over 30 years, denies these allegations and intends to seek dismissal. Clinton is seeking to regain control of his catalog to secure generational wealth for his family. The lawsuit highlights the broader issue of exploitation in the music industry, particularly for young artists.
