Jill Scott Left her Record Label
and they're suing her ass. Hidden Beach Records says Jill still owes them 3 more records per her contract and are shocked that she's decided to leave them after ten years.
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
The lawsuit is unusually detailed in its description of the small label's close relationship with Scott. She clearly was the center of attention for label founder, Steve McKeever. The complaint alleges he paid her million-dollar advances when he wasn't required to, allowed her to keep merchandising revenue, paid $450,000 to fund a concert DVD that Scott later asked not be released, bought her lavish gifts and indulged her desire to slow her recording schedule to pursue an acting career (Scott has appeared in the films "Houndog," "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" and HBO's "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency").
"Hidden Beach feels that Jill Scott is an incredibly talented artist," the company's lawyer Lawrence Hinkle told us. "No one regrets that this lawsuit had to be filed more than Hidden Beach, but its hands were tied and it had no other option."
