Grammy-winning singer/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against singer Anita Baker, claiming she owes him more than $250,000.
According to the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Baker broke two oral agreements with Edmonds, who co-wrote, produced and performed on the song “Like You Used to Do” on Baker’s 2004 album “My Everything.”
The lawsuit claims Baker refused to pay Edmonds producer’s royalties equaling at least $100,000 from an estimated more than 500,000 albums sold.
Edmonds, 47, also alleges that he and Baker had an agreement to play four concerts together, but that Baker canceled two shows and refused to pay $150,000 for those dates.
A spokesperson for Baker’s label, Blue Note, declined to comment, saying the label had no knowledge of the lawsuit.
