Wiz Khalifa Suing Rostrum Records
Lawyer Up
First the Fat Boy break up and now this. In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Wiz is claiming his former label and manager Benjy Grinberg took advantage by “inducing” him into a 360 deal.
Before leaving in 2014, Wiz claims Grinberg shepherded him into deals that were more beneficial to the company’s interests. He also alleges that Grinberg and Rostrum made an unspecified amount from their deals with Atlantic Records and Warner Bros Records. Wiz is seeking damages of over $1 million. In a statement to billboard, Grinberg says:
Very disappointed and surprised by today’s news. To witness an artist turn on you after supporting them for a number of years is very disheartening. This is an egregious lawsuit filled with inaccuracies, yet unfortunately people sometimes resort to these practices as a way of conducting business.
*Wiz Khalifa laugh*
ugggh 360 deals are a artists nightmare…..your LABEL eats/gets a peice of EVERYTHING you earn….Album sales, streams, tours, merch…….hence the term “360.
By “induced” ? Really b.dot?
the concepts of correct grammar and spelling clearly escape this “journalist”
Induced…inducing. wrong verb. shoot me.
way to delete my comment b.dot. either way everyone already knows you have the grammar of a third grader
Thanks! i was thinking second grade, but i’ll take it.
and no one deleted your comment. grow a pair.

Social promotion

Translation: This ungrateful fucking nigger!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
You wanna hide something from a nigger? Put it in a book/ dossier/ contract or anything that requires reading and comprehension. I guess after the weed smoke cleared he realized he’s the prostitute in the relationship. God bless the Jews and their business acumen, Mac Miller left years, years ago and got his own situation but the nigger was content with his nigger pennies. Hah… You dig your own grave? Then lay in it.
@BDOT REMOVE THIS RACIST SHIT ASAP!!!!
They call for censorship when they no longer can rationally oppose the truth.
I respect this website, and I hate to be the grammar police but come on. Whoever is writing these short paragraphs shouldn’t be payed.
The irony………
*paid.
There ya go.
ha.
what a fucking traitor loser mutherfucker…the same label he is suing is the same label that got him relevant at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! legit…like wow im literally in awe right now cuz i remember whenever id see a wiz video it would be directed by bill paladino that same corny faggot jew took this dude under his wing and basically with his own cash flow propelled wiz to stardom…without rostrum records this dude would still be doing free mixtapes prolly smoking crack by now…fuck this loser, i used to be a huge wiz fan but after onifc came out i couldnt deal with the corniness… this dude should be throwing money at rostrum every opportunity he gets, instead he want to sue for a 360 deal? huh? like i understand the whole wanting to really be a baller like you claim in your songs, but dude this if anything can get you fucked….i predict wiz khalifa has something very bad in store for him if he doesnt drop this lawsuit…i dont wish bad on anyone but seriously..this is like insulting even for me as a fucking witness of this whole industry bullshit over the span of like the past 8 years maybe 10…but its plain ridiculous and if Im feeling even one ounce of the disrespect..then rostrum and those jews must be PLOTZING…NO PUN INTENDED
tell us how you really feel bro
cool story bro
Could it get any more stereotypical?
Didn’t even know he left Rostrum. I guess that shows how much I give a fuck about Wiz these days.
But if Rostrum managed you and was your label you were in a 360 deal regardless… every management deal is a 360 deal.. as in they get a set % of everything you do..
That’s fucked up. Wiz seemed to trust Benjy. When you find out your people are shady it’s heart-breaking.
