NEW YORK - EMI on Thursday countersued Kanye West to enforce a 2003 publishing agreement that the rapper and entrepreneur considers unfair and wants declared void.
The complaint was filed in Manhattan federal court six days after an unredacted version of West’s own lawsuit in California was made public. EMI, however, accused West of a “flagrant attempt to forum shop” to try to benefit from a California state law declaring personal services contracts unenforceable after seven years.
EMI also said the agreement has been amended or extended seven times, most recently in 2014, and generated tens of millions of dollars of advance payments alone for West.EMI wants a judge to declare the 2003 agreement valid and stop West from suing in California.
