Wiz Khalifa has filed suit against his former label, Rostrum Records, as well as his former manager (from Rostrum,) Benjy Grinberg.

Wiz left Rostrum in 2014, but he’s apparently still locked in a 360 deal he’d signed with them in 2004 – when he was just 16 – and the lawsuit hopes to get him out of it. He claims that he can end it under the California Labor Code’s seven-year rule.

Wiz’s gripe is that Benjy/Rostrum failed to disclose alternative arrangements that could be more beneficial to him, and instead tied him to an agreement that “reached for more than a decade into virtually every aspect” of his professional life. In a 360 deal, the label makes money off of everything the artist does, including touring, merchandise and songwriting,

Wiz is aiming for $1 million, as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees. Check out what Benjy had to say below.

In a statement to Variety, Benjy said:

“[I’m] 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.”

Man…
