Last month, Brandy filed a lawsuit seeking to end her contract with Chameleon Entertainment. She claims that the label “will not pay for her to record new albums or allow her to otherwise release music to her fans,” bullying her into a contract that will allow them to double-dip in funds. Brandy has requesed one million dollars in compensation for damages.
