UMG Hits Back At Limp Bizkit’s $200M Lawsuit, Calls Hidden Royalty Accusations ‘Fiction’
Limp Bizkit's lawsuit against Universal Music Group has an update, with UMG responding to frontman Fred Durst's case as "based on a fallacy."
Universal Music Group (UMG) is firing back at a lawsuit from Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claiming the label owes the band more than $200 million, calling the allegations “fiction” and demanding they be thrown out of court. The blockbuster lawsuit, filed last month in Los Angeles federal court, claimed that Durst had “not seen a dime in royalties” over the decades — and that hundreds of other artists may have been treated similarly under “systemic” and “fraudulent” policies. UMG says Ta later emailed back that his statements had been incorrect, at which point the label paid out roughly $3.4 million to the band and its companies – a fact that contradicts the lawsuit’s claims of “never received any royalties.”
