Soulja Boy In $1 Million Lawsuit



Soulja Boy In $1 Million Lawsuit
Soulja Boy is at the center of a million-dollar lawsuit, along with his record label Interscope Records and MySpace Music. The parties are being sued over a canceled concert in Harrisburg, PA. Joseph Brewster of TrinCity Entertainment filed the suit.
The lawsuit alleges that TrinCity booked Soulja Boy for a concert on December 10th, 2010 and paid an advance fee of $16,250. They also reportedly paid another $3,500 for bus transportation to the event and another $8,000 for television and radio commercials to promote the event. According to the lawsuit, reps for Interscope contacted TrinCity and asked the show be canceled, so that Soulja Boy could perform a show in Hawaii the following weekend.
TrinCity says that reps for Interscope and MySpace agreed to pay $10,000 to offset the advertising costs. The money was also supposed to help TrinCity promote Soulja Boy's rescheduled date. But according to the suit, MySpace never reimbursed TrinCity and Interscope paid $5,000, but it was too late to promote the rescheduled show.
The suit also claims Soulja Boy unjustly kept the $16,250 deposit. Brewster and TrinCity want $1,000,000 in damages for breach of contract.
