Limp Bizkit Suffers Setback In $200M Royalties Lawsuit Against Universal Music Group

Limp Bizkit suffered a defeat in its $200 million lawsuit against Universal Music Group when a judge ruled the band cannot legally void its contract.

Limp Bizkit has suffered a setback in its $200 million lawsuit against Universal Music Group, with a federal judge ruling that the band cannot legally void its contracts of “nearly 30 years” over accusations of underpaid royalties.

The music giant’s attorneys argued that Limp Bizkit’s own legal filings contradicted the accusation that the band had not been paid: “Plaintiffs concede thereafter receiving millions of dollars in payments.”
