Jill Scott is in hot water with her former record label.
The singer apparently just upped and left Hidden Beach Records but is still contractually required to deliver three more albums.
The lawsuit is unusually detailed in its description of the small label’s close relationship with Scott. She clearly was the center of attention for McKeever. The complaint alleges he paid her million-dollar advances when he wasn’t required to, allowed her to keep merchandising revenue, paid $450,000 to fund a concert DVD that Scott later asked not be released, bought her lavish gifts and indulged her desire to slow her recording schedule to pursue an acting career (Scott has appeared in the films “Houndog,” “Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” and HBO’s “No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency”).
“Hidden Beach feels that Jill Scott is an incredibly talented artist,” the company’s lawyer Lawrence Hinkle told us. “No one regrets that this lawsuit had to be filed more than Hidden Beach, but its hands were tied and it had no other option.”
Oh dear…

well…
beat thats getting in the way of what she’s feelin’! OHHHH! lol
Why do Artist commit to contracts that require a certain amount of albums?? And there should be a loop hole, like: there can’t be a time frame because they don’t put creativity on a time schedule… and for crying out loud don’t commit to so many damn albums I don’t care how much money they are throwing at you, Judge is only going to uphold what is written on paper and what you signed!!!
