You’ll remember that late last year, Chance The Rapper, aka Chancelor Bennett, was sued by his long-time manager, Pat ‘The Manager’ Corcoran. Corcoran claimed that he was owed more than $3 million in unpaid commissions.
Corcoran (via Pat The Manager LLC) sued Chance’s three companies in Illinois, alleging seven counts including Breach Of Contract, Violation Of The Illinois Sales Representative Act, Unjust Enrichment and more.
Now, Chance is fighting back – with an explosive suit of his own.
According to a claim filed by Chance/Bennett this month and obtained by MBW, the rapper accuses his “disgruntled former manager” of having “repeatedly breached his fiduciary responsibilities to Mr. Bennett by trading on Mr. Bennett’s good name for his own benefit”.
In addition, Chance alleges that Corcoran, who the artist sacked in April last year, was “diverting business opportunities to his separate companies, and demanding and accepting kickbacks as the ‘price’ of doing business with Chance”.
