On Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Offset filed a lawsuit against his longtime record label, Quality Control. In the complaint, Offset, born Kiari Cephus, claims that Quality Control has ownership of his music despite a deal the rapper made with the label that he could release it independently. According to the suit, Offset claims he paid Quality Control "handsomely for those rights" to his solo music. In a now-deleted Tweet on Wednesday, the rapper's wife, Cardi B, said Offset bought himself out of his Quality Control deal after the record label didn't want him to renegotiate it. In response, Pierre “P” Thomas, Quality Control's CEO Tweeted: "The last lawsuit was filed publicly and dismissed quietly," the Tweet says. "Let’s see how this one go. Been to real for all this lame shit. Everyone know the real problem." https://twitter.com/qcm_p/status/1562492844358582280 Offset hit back at Thomas in a Tweet of his own. https://twitter.com/OffsetYRN/status/1562502264245194753 Last week, Offset released “54321,” his first solo song since 2019.
