Kanye West Sued<\/span><\/p>\n EMI Shoots Down \u2018Servitude\u2019 Claim \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Your Contract\u2019s Legal in NY!!!<\/span><\/p>\n 3\/7\/2019 1:57 PM PST<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE<\/span><\/p>\n EMI is now suing Kanye in federal court over his publishing deal. According to the suit, Ye signed the contract in 2003, and received \u201ctens of millions of dollars\u201d from EMI as a result. The label says some of that money was paid to him after he signed 7 different modifications and\/or extensions to the deal.<\/p>\n The twist here is that EMI says the contracts are clear that NY laws govern the deal. That\u2019s important because as we reported \u2026 West sued EMI<\/strong><\/a> in California, claiming the contract amounts to \u201cservitude\u201d because it\u2019s a personal services contract lasting more than 7 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019s right \u2026 in Cali, it would be. But, EMI points out in its lawsuit, NY State is a different story \u2026 there\u2019s no such 7-year rule there. Plus, EMI is shooting down Kanye\u2019s claim the deal is a personal services contract.<\/p>\n EMI wants the court to declare the contracts are valid, and Kanye\u2019s gotta stick to it. The label also wants the court to block Kanye\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n<\/h5>\n

Kanye West<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s attempts to get out of his contract with EMI<\/strong> are ridiculous, legally speaking, and he knows it \u2014 especially because he\u2019s signed multiple extensions \u2026 at least, according to the record label.<\/p>\n
