I Have to Fight for Them”: George Clinton’s $100M Legal War Over Music

Funk legend George Clinton has initiated a staggering $100 million legal action against Armen Boladian, alleging fraud and copyright violations. This lawsuit, filed in Florida, contends that Boladian unlawfully appropriated Clinton's extensive musical catalog. With the backing of attorney Ben Crump, Clinton is fiercely committed to safeguarding his artistic legacy while championing the rights of marginalized Black artists within the music sector. The case underscores the ongoing struggles against exploitation and the imperative of protecting creative intellectual property. Clinton’s bold move not only seeks justice for his own body of work but also resonates with a broader fight for equity in an industry historically plagued by inequities.
