Up-and-coming rapper Shaboozey is initiating a lawsuit against her music label for not fulfilling their contractual obligations. Legal filings reveal that she accuses the label of breach of contract, claiming they have not followed through with agreed-upon promotional activities and overall support.
Shabnam Zeyghami, known professionally as Shaboozey, joined forces with the label in 2020 after her distinctive fusion of hip-hop and electronic music caught the attention of online audiences. Her agreement with the company included promises of vigorous marketing campaigns and promotional activities to broaden her listener base.
Nevertheless, Shaboozey contends that the label has fallen short in these areas. Her legal claim asserts that there was a lack of essential promotional support such as radio play, social media campaigns, and opportunities for live performances.
In response, Shaboozey is pursuing monetary compensation and a legal injunction to enforce the label to meet its obligations under the agreement. She is further pressing to annul her contract and free herself from the label’s influence.
Her attorneys argue that the label’s negligence in promoting her music has led to a noticeable decrease in her popularity and income. They claim that this has inflicted financial damages and tarnished her professional reputation.
While the label has not yet issued a statement regarding the lawsuit, Shaboozey’s representation remains optimistic about the strength of their case. “We are confident that the label has not adhered to its obligations, and we are committed to securing justice for Shaboozey,” remarked a representative of the rapper’s legal team.
The results of this legal battle could potentially reshape how the music industry manages and supports rising talent.
