Popular musician Akon, maybe looking forward to pay a hefty lawsuit from a former business partner who helped him get his career started
According to report from TMZ, Akon
is getting sued by a former business partner for a whopping $150
million for earnings he allegedly withheld from him over the past ten
years.
Devyne Stephens, a music executive who helped launch Akon’s career & Konvict
Music label, claims he's supposed to be getting 40% of everything
Akon's earned since 2006. He says their contract gives him a cut of
record sales, touring rights, royalties and more, but apparently hasn't
seen a dime of it yet.
As TMZ
points out, Akon has earned over $400 million since 2006 if what
Stephens says is true and based on the math. However who knows what
he’ll end up getting, and based on the size of the lawsuit it probably
won’t be worked out for a while either.
