Recording Agreements/ Interference Claims
Evidence established independently wrongful acts on the part of Death Row Records to support a jury finding of interference with prospective economic advantage by recording the rapper Kurupt when he was already signed to exclusive management, recording and publishing contracts with the plaintiffs, the Court of Appeal of California, Second Appellate District, decided. Brumfield v. Death Row Records Inc., B149651. In its unpublished opinion, the court of appeal noted, among other things, that “Death Row induced Kurupt to execute written contracts with [the defendants], depriving [plaintiffs Lamont and Kenneth Brumfield] of their contractual rights with Kurupt.” The jury had also found the defendants liable for false promise to pay the Brumfields some compensation and for interference with contract. The court of appeal upheld both of these findings. The court went on to rule that Kurupt, but not Death Row, had standing to bring a petition before the state Labor Commissioner alleging that Kurupt's contracts with the Brumfields allegedly violated the California Talent Agencies Act.
