George Clinton Files Hefty $100 Million Lawsuit to Take Back Musical Catalog Ownership
The Parliament-Funkadelic frontman wants to “give generational wealth” to his family.
In the lawsuit, filed in Florida District Court on Wednesday, March 12, Clinton, 83, alleged that Boladian illegally obtained the copyright to over 90 percent of his music catalog.

Clinton argues that to decrease his profits, Boladian added false names and pseudonyms to copyright registrations and created several versions of agreements providing additional rights to his catalog between 1982 and 1985.
