Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit File Shocking $200 Million Lawsuit

Limp Bizkit and the band's frontman Fred Durst has filed a massive lawsuit against Universal Music Group for $200 million dollars. #limpbizkit #numetal

I'd appreciate it if you took a moment to follow :)

I don't know why numerous bands don't join together and file a class-action lawsuit. This seems to be a common problem.

good for fred. they deserve to get paid. imagine the level of corruption in a big label like UMG

[infidelmat]

Its shocking to see Fred with a white beard....and then I looked in the mirror 😢

Never been a limp bizkit fan but I’m 100% on Fred’s side. You know it’s serious when Fred is taking action. Labels are always trying to screw artists. They deserve what’s theirs or at the very least UMG should be 100% transparent with everything going on. This just shows they are hiding something

[adammercy]

Won't surprise me if this turns into a class-action suit.

[DookyShoes]

Entertainment is such a shady industry - music, movies, tv all screwing over the actual talent

[jasonriot_official]

This is also known as asking for an audit. EVERYONE signed to a label should be doing this periodically.

I turned down a decent sized record deal with an UMG sub-label after I found out that I would only receive 10% of all my royalties. I said no and 2 weeks later they gave me a counter-offer - 12% of royalties. 😂
The A&R guy who tried to sign me was PISSED when I laughed in his face. 🤷

It's kind of pathetic. The record industry has always been the biggest scam business in the world. Steven Tyler said he never made any money until doing American Idol. Then when MP3's killed the record industry, they started negotiating recording deals where they wanted to take cuts of bands live performance and merch. If any businesses deserve to go out of business it's these huge record companies.

[SolarWraith]

Discovery in court is a great thing. Dig deep, and expose the label's skeletons.

[AdamSMessinger]

This time he's gonna let it all out. This time he's gonna stand up and shout.

[aseainfo]

If UMG had to pay all of the royalties they still owe all their bands, they would be bankrupt by sundown today.

[TennesseeReaper]

Don’t be surprised if he ends up “overdosing” or “un aliving himself” very soon! These major labels are crooked!

[GregHallArt]

Does LL Cool J know you took his hat? 😂🤘✌

[DangerousDevilOfficial]

I am blown away… Not that UMG has been slimy and kept their money. But that Fred and crew have not investigated this before all these decades later.

These guys have sold millions and millions of records.

I hope he prevails. He is my new hero for all of us music artists. Fred and LB have my full support! Stick it to those crooks!

Greed destroyed the music industry. Bands like Limp Bizkit were able to become millionaires but they still haven't gotten paid what they earned/deserved. Today great bands, who sell a ton of music and sell out tours need to break up because they can't afford to remain working musicians. Unless you are at the top of the food chain, you can't make a comfortable living as a musician. I'm not really a Limp Bizkit fan (loved the first album, but that's it) but I'm rooting for them. They were the most popular band in the world at one point, there is zero chance they haven't cleared their advance.

[clifflogan]

Not a Bizkit fan, but good for them, hope they win, and in big fashion.

[AndrewMarloweTV]

Thats the funny thing about the music industry, as much money is actually made, a good number of it seems to dissappear under mysterious circumstances by labels, managers, and other handlers

[Megalonysight]

I don’t even understand how any artist post 2010 could sign deals to record labels with the resources available now. Prince has been warning everybody since the 80’s. Hope lots of older bands follow suit with LB and bring the record labels down along with the rest of Hollywood.

[Madchris]

This could be a really good and big breakthrough if this works. I'm wishing Fred and gang the best.


Sidenote :

Loserville kicked ass and Fred seemed like a cool ass dude and was super grateful for the large audience he had at that concert. Also happened to be his birthday which was cool too.
