Chance The Rapper’s legal battle with his\u00a0former manager Pat Corcoran, aka Pat The Manager, has been going on for over five years. In 2020, Corcoran sued<\/a> Chance, claiming he violated an oral agreement to pay Corcoran 15% of his profits, and that Chance owed him “over $2.5 million of unreimbursed expenses supporting and promoting Bennett’s career.” Corcoran said there was also a \u201csunset clause\u201d that would run for three years post-termination. Chance countersued<\/a> the following year, accusing him of “self-dealing and incompetence.” Yesterday the jury found that Corcoran failed to prove his case, and now he owes Chance $35.<\/p>\n

Chance originally sought $1 million in damages, but he’s happy nonetheless: “I claim victory in the name of the Lord,\u201d he told the Sun-Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jurors also suggested that Corcoran turn over the internet domain name ChanceRaps.com, which he used to sell Chance the Rapper merchandise. Jay Scharkey, one of Corcoran\u2019s attorneys, said, “We respect the jury\u2019s decision, but the message to music managers is clear: Get it in writing. The jury award of $35 speaks to how seriously the jury viewed Chance\u2019s case.”<\/p>\n
