George Clinton is suing Universal Music Group over claims the company withheld more than $1.1 million in royalties tied to his legendary music catalog

by Selena Hill

Funk pioneer George Clinton is taking legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging the record label withheld more than $1.1 million in royalty payments tied to his legendary catalog for over three years.

According to a federal lawsuit filed in Michigan on May 15, Clinton claims that UMG Recordings froze 100% of the royalties across multiple royalty accounts connected to his work with Parliament-Funkadelic and his solo work. The complaint accuses the label of breach of contract and alleges the payments were improperly withheld during an ongoing legal dispute involving the estate of late Parliament-Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell.
