AceShowbiz - Offset has launched legal action against Migos' label Quality Control Records. After filing a lawsuit over ownership of his solo music, the rapper accused its CEO Pierre "Pee" Thomas of blackballing him.
The 30-year-old brought up the accusation when responding to Pee's tweet that read, "The last lawsuit was filed publicly and dismissed quietly. Let's see how this one go." It added, "Been to real for all this lame s**t. Everyone know the real problem."
In his own post, Offset argued, "N***as act like Im the problem I paid millions to get my rights back." He further fumed, "N***a you blackballed me I ain't said s**t one time homie I ain't spoke to you in 2 years now I drop and you want ya name on my credit?"
According to TMZ Hip Hop, Offset is suing Quality Control Records for allegedly ignoring a deal they made back in January 2021. In the legal docs filed on Tuesday, August 23, the emcee stated that he "paid handsomely" for his artist rights.
However, the label reportedly is not honoring the deal. The husband of Cardi B claimed that it attached the label name to his recent single, "5 4 3 2 1", on streaming services.
Offset dropped "5 4 3 2 1" on August 19 along with its official music video. "F**kin' on me, like I'm Tupac Shakur (Thug), 35K for the seats on the floor," the rhymer, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, raps in the Baby Keem-produced song. "Yes, it's the wave, you don't gotta show it (Hah), starin’ at me, but I don't want the whore (No)."
The track itself doesn't feature either of Offset's other two Migos collaborators, Quavo and Takeoff. In recent months, the two rappers have been releasing music on their own as Unc & Phew amid Migos split rumors. They released "Hotel Lobby" on May 20 and "Us vs. Them" ft. Gucci Mane in late July.
