Swizz Beats and Timbaland struck a deal with Triller in 2021, but they say the streaming platform defaulted in January and hasn’t paid since.
Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have a battle on their hands, and this time, it’s not the next big Verzuz clash, rather they are clashing with Triller, who acquired the live streaming series last year.
The legendary producers filed a lawsuit on Tuesday (Aug. 16), claiming the social media platform owes them more than $28 million, according to various reports.
Triller acquired the platform created by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland back in January 2021 for an undisclosed sum. Triller was to pay the pair $18 million no later han March 17, then £1 million on the first of the month for ten months.
However, the suit alleges Triller paid the first two but defaulted on the agreement in January and hasn’t paid anything since.
In April, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz sent Triller a notice and demand for payment, but Triller still refused to pay.
