TMZ is reporting that Future has been sued by rapper Rocko over an alleged contract breach. Rocko is the owner of Future’s former label A1 Recordings, and he’s claiming that a 2011 contract specifying six albums was violated in a joint deal with Epic Records. According to Rocko, the Epic deal was only signed to distribute albums, but Future went ahead and inked a separate deal with Epic that cut A1 Recordings out of any profits. Within the 10 million dollar lawsuit, Rocko is after 25% of Future’s Epic advances and a further 20% of his profits from endorsements and touring. Check out Future’s tweets about the lawsuit below.
