Jermaine Dupri voluntarily dismissed his eighteen million dollar royalty lawsuit against Sony Music Entertainment. This legal withdrawal happened before the major label even filed a formal response to allegations involving unpaid earnings from Kris Kross and Xscape recordings.

The dismissal remains without prejudice, meaning So So Def Recordings could theoretically revive these claims later. Neither side disclosed any financial terms or specific accounting remedies regarding the thirty-two-year business relationship dispute.

Original filings accused the company of hiding foreign sales data and improperly applying unrecouped balances against platinum-selling albums. Auditors allegedly discovered massive discrepancies in producer royalties that should have been cleared under legacy balance forgiveness programs.

This resolution marks the third streaming royalty claim against the corporation to end quietly this year. Bands like Lit and Los Lobos similarly settled their own contract disputes without revealing final payout figures or detailed remediation timelines.
