Chlöe Bailey is accused of not paying a songwriter manufacturer, Melvin Moore, professionally known as “oneinthe4rest” (“4rest”), for his contribution over her “Problems in paradise“Album.
In a mood that was submitted in February 20 and independent of Se AmountMoore accuses Bailey and her labels, Columbia Records and Parkwood Entertainment, for misleading business methods including containing payment for their work on three songs shown on Bailey’s 2024 project: “Favorite”, “Same Underwear” and “Maybe too.”
“In particular, the texts and stories originated from intimate and real situations, which reflects (Moore’s) relationships, emotions and personal struggles,” reads the complaint. Moore describes how Bailey and her label “failed to seek permission from (Moore) to commercially exploit” her work and “also failed to get involved in negotiations on good faith with (Moore) before the commercial release” of these songs.
They claim that Moore did not receive “correct professional writing credit”, claiming that he was not compensated for “his significant contribution.” The atmosphere contains several mentions of ways in which Bailey and the label marketed the music without Moore’s credits on the songs.

In a separate cessation and suspended letter issued by Moore’s representatives, the songwriter says he will not grant any rights to the label or Bailey for the songs, and he will also not grant a mechanical license for the first use for his work. The letter requires a payment of $ 10.00 and immediately ceasing from all additional unauthorized uses until both parties reach an agreement.
The proposed negotiations from Moore’s side would include a 2% royalty distribution and a further publication allocation. They also pray for the songs to be removed from
