Back to EpisodesChance the Rapper Wins Court Case, But Loses Millions
Description
Chance the Rapper emerged victorious in a courtroom battle against his former manager, Pat Corcoran, but the win was bittersweet. The jury dismissed Corcorans claim for $3.8 million in unpaid commissions, while Chance only received $35 from his countersuit. The trial centered around a verbal three-year deal with a 15% cut for Corcoran, but no written agreement existed. Chances team argued Corcoran prioritized personal gains over his interests, pointing to unshipped merchandise orders. The jury found Corcoran breached fiduciary duty, but the minimal damages signaled a hollow victory. This case underscores the risks of handshake deals in hip-hop, with both parties likely considering their next moves quietly.
