Childish Gambino Not Being Sued

In the complaint filed last week, Glassnote is asking a judge to mediate the contract dispute and determine who has the rights to those royalties. Billboard added that a source close to Glassnote said the company has never been in litigation with an artist since the company’s 2007 inception. Glover signed with RCA Records in January and released “This Is America” as his first single with the label. The single debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.​

Donald Glover, who also goes by his musical alter ego Childish Gambino, is reportedly being sued by Glassnote Entertainment Group. According to TMZ, the imprint has filed a lawsuit again the Atlanta mastermind for failing to pay them streaming royalties. Glover has reportedly collected over $700,000 in royalties but hasn’t given any of that money to Glassnote. Glassnote and Glover have partnered on several mixtapes and three albums together, including his commercial breakthrough Awaken! My Love. 

Crazy enough, Childish Gambino has released two summer-themed songs with the Summer Pack EP as I wrap up this blog (lol). Both songs are written and produced by Gambino and frequent collaborator Ludwig Goransson.
