Supersonic 49,376 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Drag queen Adore Delano from "RuPaul's Drag Race" says he should be a multi-millionaire, but his management stole almost everything out from under his powdered nose. In a lawsuit, Adore says he earned $2.5 million over the past 3 years -- mostly off 2 hit singles and hundreds of concerts -- but only walked away with $300k. He believes his managers at Producer Entertainment Group conspired with his record label, and others, to embezzle his hard earned dough. He's suing for $1 million in lost wages, and another $2.5 mil in punitive damages.

Also the account has no transperancy, Adore has no idea on what budget she can create her art on. She was not compensated for any album/single sales and streams, the tricky thing is that was no contract signed that settles monetary compensation between the artist, songwriters, record company and managment. The contract sounds super dodgy and clumsy and if it comes to an actual courtcase, it will be most likely declared void (meaning Adore would win.) However, her managment might go for a Settlement to not lose face, they're representative of many other high profile Drag Race queens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
