Limp Bizkit Sues Universal Music Group for $200 Million in Unpaid Royalties

The lawsuit alleges fraudulent accounting practices by UMG, claiming the band has not received royalties for years despite their resurgence in popularity.

Limp Bizkit and frontman Fred Durst have filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing the company of withholding over $200 million in royalties.
The band claims they have not been paid for more than half a billion streams, and the lawsuit seeks to void all contracts with UMG.
Durst alleges that UMG's accounting system was deliberately designed to conceal royalties, affecting potentially hundreds of other artists.
UMG has reportedly paid Limp Bizkit $1.03 million and Durst's Flawless Records $2.3 million, but the band claims much more is owed.
The lawsuit highlights that despite the band's renewed popularity, UMG has failed to provide accurate royalty statements since the late 1990s.
