Limp Bizkit’s $200 Million Lawsuit Moves Ahead After Judge Denies Universal Music Group’s Motion to Dismiss


Limp Bizkit’s $200 million lawsuit against Universal Music Group over royalties is headed to court as a judge denies the label's motion to dismiss.

Limp Bizkit is allowed to move forward with their October lawsuit against Universal Music Group that alleges the label deliberately withheld as much as $200 million in royalties. Judge Percy Anderson determined on March 17 that the band’s ancillary claims should be adjudicated in state court, meaning Limp Bizkit’s camp will soon be re-filing the original lawsuit, according to documents reviewed by Variety. In their original lawsuit, Limp Bizkit, which hit the peak of its popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s, claims that it’s not the only group to be stiffed on royalties and that possibly hundreds of other artists have also suffered from this model.
