Nas’ Company Settles Racism Lawsuit Brought by White Former Executive

Nas’ company Mass Appeal settled a racism lawsuit brought by a white former executive who says she was fired because of her race.

Nas ’ record label and media company, Mass Appeal, has inked a settlement with a white former executive who claims she was the target of discrimination and forced out because of her race. Mass Appeal filed a joint motion with its former head of development, Melissa Cooper, in federal court on Friday (June 13), agreeing to dismiss the case entirely. They said in court filings that Cooper was terminated for financial reasons because her division had not sold any projects in a year, and that Meggs’ text messages were “taken out of context and are nothing but a red herring.”
