Madlib Sues Ex-Manager Over ‘Self-Dealing’ on MF Doom’s Death Anniversary

Lawsuit claims that Egon used his own record label as a "middle man" to take funds off his and Madlib's joint earnings.

Madlib has filed a lawsuit against his former manager Eothen “Egon” Alapatt on the fourth anniversary of MF Doom’s death. On Thursday, the rapper and producer accused Egon — who is in litigation with Doom’s widow over his rhyme books — of “pervasive management” of his businesses and funds. The lawsuit claims that Madlib, who has produced for Kanye West and Doom, hired Egon to manage Rapp Catts, a record store, to sell his physical projects and for record store events, and was in charge of “financial, legal, and business aspects of the entity.” Egon was also in charge of overseeing the agreements related to Madlib’s Quasimoto merch and other aspects of his business, per the filing.
