Lady Gaga is being accused of being a deadbeat by 90s Blackstreet artist Teddy Riley for not paying him for his time spent producing the track Teeth on her 2009 The Fame Monster LP. Teddy claims to be have been promised 25 percent of the writing fees but has yet to have received a dime. He is requesting $500,000 plus punitive damages.
Riley is serious about getting proper credit and his payment for his contribution to the song. His daughter Taja Riley claimed she co-wrote Teeth and as a response the two made headlines after he sued her. The alleged story allowed her to land a publishing deal. Teddy insists his daughter’s claims about her ”participation in the creation of the composition, authorship, and ownership [of "Teeth"] are all false and untrue”.
In the beginning of her career Lady Gaga said she lived out of hotels so she could spend as much money on her career as possible, but now that she’s worth $150 million, would it be that hard to just pay up?
