A $5 million lawsuit has been filed by AEG against Young Thug, alleging breach of a 2017 touring agreement and unauthorized sale of song copyrights. The lawsuit claims Young Thug failed to repay a $5.3 million advance and performed unauthorized shows against contract terms.

Key allegations include:

• Unpaid $5.3 million advance from AEG
• Unauthorized performances violating exclusive touring agreement
• Sale of over 400 copyrighted songs for $16 million in 2021
• Potential fraudulent transfer of music rights

The lawsuit was temporarily delayed due to Young Thug's criminal case involving YSL gang-related charges. After pleading guilty and receiving probation, the civil case has resumed.

AEG seeks to recover damages through:

• Collection of unpaid advance
• Rights to copyrighted music used as collateral
• Investigation of the $16 million copyright sale
• Subpoenas to 15 entities involved in the transaction

Young Thug's legal team maintains the copyright sale was legitimate and has requested additional time to address the allegations following his recent release from prison.

The case's outcome could significantly impact:

• Young Thug's financial future
• Ownership of his music catalog
• His creative independence
• Future touring agreements

If no settlement is reached, the case may proceed to trial, determining the fate of millions in disputed funds and valuable music rights.
