T-Pain Takes Akon’s Konvict Entertainment To Court Again — Claims Label Owes Him Nearly $500K!

T-Pain Says Konvict Entertainment Is Holding Nearly Half a Million Dollars in Unpaid Royalties

T-Pain is back in court with a familiar battle—this time claiming Akon’s Konvict Entertainment owes him nearly $500,000 in unpaid royalties. 💰👀

According to a lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court, T-Pain alleges that Konvict Entertainment received more than $1.3 million in royalties from a distributor in March for his music sales during the second half of 2025.

Under his agreements with the label, T-Pain claims he is entitled to 75% of Konvict’s net royalties generated from his record sales.

The singer and rapper alleges that Konvict paid him $489,047 in June, but claims the label still owes him another $489,047.

According to the lawsuit, T-Pain says Konvict directed him to seek the remaining money from its affiliate, BuVision. However, he claims his representatives were unable to recover the outstanding payment.

Now, T-Pain is once again taking the label to court to fight for the money he says he’s owed.

💸 THIS ISN’T THEIR FIRST ROYALTY BATTLE

This latest lawsuit marks the second time T-Pain has sued Konvict Entertainment over allegedly unpaid royalties.

T-Pain previously filed a lawsuit against the label in 2018, accusing Konvict of failing to properly pay him royalties.

That case was ultimately settled in 2025, with Konvict agreeing to pay T-Pain $114,000 without admitting liability.

Now, just as that legal battle appeared to be behind them, the parties are facing another dispute over royalty payments.

T-Pain has spent decades building a catalog filled with major hits and collaborations, making royalty disputes particularly significant as his music continues generating revenue.

For now, the latest case remains ongoing, with T-Pain seeking the additional $489,047 he claims remains unpaid.

The legal battle is yet another reminder that in the music business, the paperwork—and the checks—have to match the hits. 💰🎶
