Lil Kleine loses lawsuit against former manager and receives no damages

Rapper Lil Kleine has lost a lawsuit against his former manager, Nathan Moszkowicz, concerning the calculation of commission fees from a 3 million euro Sony recording deal. The court rejected the artist's claim that production costs should have been deducted before the manager's percentage was taken.

Dutch rapper Lil Kleine has lost a legal battle against his former manager, Nathan Moszkowicz, regarding a recording contract signed in 2021. The artist had challenged a 15 percent management fee taken from a 3 million euro advance provided by Sony for a three-album deal. Lil Kleine argued that production costs should have been deducted from the advance before calculating the commission, claiming he had relied entirely on his former manager at the time.

In response, Moszkowicz maintained that the fee was correctly calculated based on the full value of the contract, consistent with their previous professional agreements. The court ultimately ruled against the artist, denying his claim for damages. Lil Kleine expressed regret over the breakdown of their working relationship, following the court session that took place at the end of August.
