Chile… looks like the “Hrs & Hrs” singer might be spending hours in court instead of the studio 👀
According to court documents obtained by HotNewHipHop and The Source, Grammy-winning singer Muni Long (real name Priscilla Renea Hamilton) is being sued by her former management team, Ebony Son Entertainment, Inc. — the company run by industry vets Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon.
The two claim Muni Long owes them more than $600,000 in unpaid commissions and expenses. Yup, six figures worth of “we did the work, now run us our coins.”
⚖️ What the Lawsuit Says
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Muni Long and several of her companies — Super Giant Records LLC, Muni Long Inc., Muni World Inc., and White Rose Garden LLC — of:
Breach of Contract Fraudulent Business Practices Unjust Enrichment, and Conversion (that’s basically keeping money that isn’t yours 💅🏽)
Ebony Son says they struck a verbal agreement with Muni Long during the 2023 Essence Festival, promising them 20% of her gross revenue plus reimbursement for expenses in exchange for management services. They claim things were all good at first — until the payments allegedly stopped in late 2024.
Now, they want the court to make Muni Long pay up and provide an accounting of every dollar earned during their time managing her career.
🗣️ Muni Long’s Side
As for Muni Long? Sources tell The Jasmine Brand her camp says the allegations are “unfounded” and that there was no formal contract in place.
To make things even messier, the lawsuit also mentions some wild behind-the-scenes drama — including claims that her former team allegedly tried to have her involuntarily committed while she was experiencing a lupus flare-up. Whew, this tea is scalding, but remember: everything is alleged until proven in court.
💬 AGP Thoughts
If true, this would be another example of artists getting caught up in the fine print — or worse, no print at all. A verbal deal at Essence Fest sounds good in theory, but baby, that won’t always hold up in court.
On the other hand, if Muni Long’s camp is right and there was no real contract? Then this might be a case of industry vets trying to claim a cut after the success hit the charts.
Either way, it’s messy. Between Grammy wins, viral hits, and now lawsuits, Muni’s learning what it really costs to be the boss.

Question of the Day:
Do you think artists should always have written contracts, or is a handshake deal still fair game in 2025?
