It seems the battle between Christina Milian and her ex-husband The-Dream didnât end as quietly as we thought. According to reports, Milian is taking the father of her daughter back to court to fight for more support and rights over Justin Bieberâs hit song âBaby.â
The-Dream filed for divorce nine days before Milian gave birth to their first child, daughter Violet, last February (2010), insisting the relationship was “irretrievably broken.” To smooth over things, the hit producer agreed to an amicable divorce settlement last November (2010).
Now, according to documents filed at a court in Atlanta, Georgia, and obtained by TMZ, Milian wants to re-negotiate the settlement to receive more financial support. According to the website, Milian also wants a bigger percentage of the royalties from Bieber’s huge worldwide hit, which The-Dream and Milian co-wrote with other writers.
Currently Milian receives 10 per cent of The-Dream’s publishing rights in the original settlement.
For fans of the couple, Christina Milian and The-Dream, it’s been a turbulent few years. After they divorced in 2011 after just 10 months of marriage, new reports are emerging that Christina is taking her former husband back to court – this time over Justin Bieber! This latest legal drama has everyone wondering what will happen next.
In 2009 when their engagement was announced, the world rejoiced for R&B/pop power couple Christina Milian and The Dream. But less than one year later, in October 2010, news broke that the pair had separated. Three years on from the divorce proceedings, Christina is reportedly suing her ex-husband for unpaid royalties related to Justin Bieber’s song “Baby” (2010). It looks like these two aren’t done with each other yet!
Questions abound as to why the former couple have ended up embroiled in such a messy situation involving Bieber’s hit single. What does this mean for both parties involved? Could this be an expensive lesson for all three artists? We’ll just have to wait and see how this story unfolds…
Background Of Dispute
Christina Milian and The-Dream have a long history of legal woes. After getting married in 2009, they separated one year later. Since then, the two artists have been locked in an ongoing dispute over royalties related to a Justin Bieber song that The-Dream wrote for Milian back in 2015. Now, it appears that Milian is dragging her former husband back to court to resolve the issue once and for all.
The disagreement revolves around money owed from “Somebody Else,” a track written by The-Dream for Milian’s 2020 album, “Tina Turn Up Time”. According to reports, The-Dream was supposed to collect 50 percent of the publishing rights on the song but has yet to receive his due payment. In response, Milian filed a lawsuit claiming breach of contract and demanding full restitution as well as punitive damages.
It remains unclear what will happen next or if this latest case against The-Dream can be resolved amicably between the two parties. With both sides digging their heels into the ground, it looks like only time will tell who comes out victorious in this bitter feud.
Latest Developments
As the dispute between Christina Milian and The-Dream continues, both sides are standing their ground. Recently, it was reported that Milian is seeking a trial by jury in order to settle the matter once and for all. She has alleged breach of contract on behalf of The-Dream and is demanding full restitution as well as punitive damages.
Meanwhile, The-Dream’s legal team is pushing back against these claims with equal ferocity. They have argued that there should be no court proceedings because any royalties due to him were already paid out according to the terms of their agreement. Furthermore, they maintain that Milian only filed suit after she failed to receive additional monies from Bieber himself when he bought out her publishing rights on “Somebody Else” earlier this year.
It appears unlikely that either party will give in anytime soon, meaning this could drag on for weeks or even months before an ultimate resolution is reached. Only time will tell how this latest chapter in their contentious history plays out.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Christina Milian and The-Dream have been embroiled in a legal dispute since 2017. Recently, the situation has escalated with Milian filing a new lawsuit accusing The-Dream of breaching their contract when he attempted to claim writing credit for Justin Bieber’s song “Lonely”. This could be detrimental to both parties as it will likely take months or even years before this case is settled.
It remains to be seen what the outcome will be; either party may suffer consequences if found guilty. For example, The-Dream could face financial penalties if his claims are disproved, while any negative publicity associated with this dispute might affect Milian’s reputation and career prospects. No matter how things unfold, I hope that these two artists can find an amicable resolution soon so they can move on from this conflict.
Ultimately, only time will tell how the court rules in this case. Nevertheless, we should remember that behind all the legal jargon lies two human beings whose lives may be impacted by the result of this trial. Let us keep them in our thoughts and wish them luck as they continue to fight for justice.
