The mother of late rapper Lil Peep is calling out record label First Access Entertainment for not paying out $4 million owed to his estate.
In court on Tuesday, Liza Womack’s attorney argued that “FAE is trying to choke off her funds by denying her her royalty revenue that they know she’s owed.”
The rapper died of an overdose in 2017. In 2019, Womack filed a lawsuit against FAE, accusing them of “negligence, carelessness, recklessness, and wrongdoing” — adding that they ignored the rapper’s declarations that he was “anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, burnt out, exhausted, and physically unwell.”
The label has always denied her claims.
Rolling Stone reports that the attorney described the company as “dysfunctional.”
The label’s attorney refutes their claims: “It’s not true that it’s dysfunctional. It’s also is not true that FAE owes the estate over $4 million. That’s simply not true. That’s just an argument used to gain someone’s sympathy here.”
