#SanFrancisco based label #EMPIRE filed a lawsuit against #Chicago rapper #LUCKI on October 22, 2025, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging he breached his 2019 contract by releasing the single ‘Not So Virgo of You’ through #UnitedMasters. EMPIRE claims it advanced LUCKI nearly $10 million and retains exclusive distribution rights through at least 2026, rejecting his July termination notice, citing the deal’s 50/50 profit split and recoupment terms. The label seeks an injunction, damages, and confirmation of ownership over LUCKI’s masters, amid claims of undelivered albums. • whosalexander
