Rememebr Sisqo? the 'Unleash the Dragon' crooner?
He has filed a whooping $3.6 million lawsuit in
which he claims he was not paid the royalties he was due for his 1999
'Thong Song'; that racy hit that became a surprise chart-topper around the world.
The
36-year-old is claiming the company he hired to collect his cash ended
up failing to hand over around $600,000 it received on his behalf.
According to TMZ,
he charged 27 Red Music with collecting royalties from a number of
music publishing companies on his behalf for all of his work released
between 1996 and 2005.
Sisqo is claiming that while the company succeeded in collecting his cash, it failed to hand over more than half a million.
In addition to giving him the money he claims he is owed, he is also demanding an additional $3 million in punitive damages.
It is said that if
he wins this case it will be a welcome financial boost to the Baltimore
native, who has a paltry estimated net worth of just $4 million.
Sisqo's
showbusiness career has been a little on the quiet and crawling side since his pomp
prancing around the beach singing about ladies' underwear.
He has reportedly released Last Dragon this year.. More photos below..
