Shaboozey Sues Label Over Publishing ... It's Suing Him for Fraud!!!

update

5:45 PM PT -- Kreshendo's singing a way different tune than Shaboozey when it comes to their deal, and it's now suing him ... accusing him of fraud.

In the docs, the record label admits it agreed to let the singer out of his deal in 2019 -- however, it says there were strings attached. Kreshendo claims his exit deal still allowed them to collect money on all his musical compositions, and they allege he knew damn well that was the arrangement.

They say Shaboozey is only acting like he didn't know, because "Bar Song" became such a massive hit, and he doesn't want to share the wealth with his old label. So, now Kreshendo is suing him for more than $2 million.
