Madlib’s Manager Countersues Over Bitter Split, Citing ‘Misconduct’ & Mac Miller Music Release

Madlib's ex-manager has hit back at the hip-hop producer with a countersuit that claims misconduct, including a disputed Mac Miller music release.

Months after hip-hop producer Madlib filed a lawsuit against his former manager and business partner Eothen “Egon” Alapatt, the exec is now suing him right back — blasting him for “having the audacity to bring this mean-spirited personal action” and citing a potential release of music by the late Mac Miller. Egon says Madlib’s new label is interfering with music projects that legally belong to the old company, including the release of a years-old recording of the late Miller that has long been rumored to be in the works. In a response filing, Egon’s lawyers blasted that case as “baseless and libelous” and part of a “year-long smear campaign.” The lawsuit ended last year with a settlement, which reportedly saw the notes returned to Thompson.
