Overview
- Filed Oct. 1 in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, the complaint names Maverick City Music, TRIBL Records and related entities.
- Moore alleges Gyamfi profited from a 2021 sale of master recordings to Sony’s The Orchard without disclosing a commission.
- He claims that in 2022 Gyamfi redirected his publishing income via Essential Music Publishing by forging his signature on a co‑publishing agreement transferring half of his composition rights.
- The suit alleges more than $800,000 in royalties were withheld and seeks monetary damages as well as voiding Moore’s contracts with the group.
- Following Oct. 6 announcements that Moore and fellow founder Naomi Raine are leaving, co‑founder Jonathan Jay publicly denied the claims as “categorically false” and described the lawsuit as a calculated attempt to exit agreements.
