\n\tThe estate of the late rapper Juice WRLD is being sued by a music producer named Joshua Jaramillo, who claims he\u2019s owed royalties from the late rapper\u2019s 2021 collab with Suga of BTS.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a lawsuit filed Wednesday (July 31) in Los Angeles court, Jaramillo says he served as a producer on \u201cGirl of My Dreams,\u201d a 2021 hit that debuted at No. 29 on the Hot 100, and that he was promised a 5% ownership stake and an additional 1% producer royalty.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut \u201cdespite repeated requests by plaintiff,\u201d Jaramillo says the estate has not paid him everything he\u2019s owed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaintiff has performed all services under the contract. \u2018Girl of My Dreams\u2019 became a nationwide hit,\u201d Jaramillo\u2019s lawyers write. \u201cDefendant has failed to pay plaintiff the full amount of agreed upon royalties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit, which is short on details, also claims that the estate has refused to provide a legally-required accounting \u201cto verify that all royalties were paid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA rep for the estate could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tJuice WRLD (Jarad Anthony Higgins), a pioneering voice in emo rap and SoundCloud rap, died of a drug overdose in December 2019 while onboard a private jet flying from Los Angeles to Chicago. Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ<\/em> reported days later that the rapper swallowed a large number of pills to hide them from federal agents who were waiting for the plane to land.<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased as a promotional single for his posthumous 2021 album, Fighting Demons<\/em>, \u201cGirl of My Dreams\u201d was a collaboration with South Korean rapper Suga and features lyrics in both English and Korean. Though the track spent just a week on the Billboard Hot 100, Fighting Demons<\/em> was a bigger hit, spending 72 weeks on the Billboard 200 and peaking at No. 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new case is the second time Juice\u2019s estate has been sued over the past year. In October, an artist named PD Beats filed his own lawsuit claiming he\u2019d served as one of the co-writers of the rapper\u2019s 2021 track \u201cNot Enough\u201d but had not been paid his proper royalties.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat case, which also named \u201cNot Enough\u201d producer Dr. Luke (Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald) as a defendant, remains pending.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
