"Amigo Publishing, the label and music licensing company that Lukasz Dr. Luke Gottwald founded, has accused Jackson, a producer for chart-topping rap stars like Chief Keef, Lil Durk and Fetty Wap, of using an allegedly false and inflated licensing offer from another music publisher to try and get out his contract. Amigo is a music publisher that has dutifully collected and paid millions of dollars to its songwriter Jackson, exceeding his wildest dreams of success"
"Gottwald is no stranger to legal disputes with artists. The producer and record executive was involved in a years-long legal battle with pop singer Kesha over her recording contract and allegations of sexual abuse, which they settled in 2023. After rising in the ranks of underground trap and drill rap in the mid-2010s, Jackson made an agreement with Amigo Publishing to handle his music licensing and royalties in 2018."
Amigo Publishing, founded by Lukasz 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald, filed suit against Darrel Jackson, aka Chopsquad DJ, alleging Jackson attempted to back out of a catalog licensing deal by presenting a false, inflated competing offer. Amigo says it handled Jackson's licensing and royalties under a 2018 agreement that gave Amigo a right of first negotiation and the ability to match other offers. Amigo matched an October offer from Duetti and accepted it in November, and now alleges Jackson solicited additional offers to evade the contract. Amigo's complaint accuses Jackson of gamesmanship, collusion, and repeated attempts to rip off the publisher.
