Khago awarded US$800K in lawsuit against former manager
Dancehall artiste Khago was awarded US$800,000 in a countersuit against former manager and producer Kemar ‘Flava’ McGregor of Streaminn Hub Inc.
Khago’s wife, Francine Gayle, confirmed the ruling in the District Court for the Southern District of Florida last month, with the Jamaica Observer.
“Khago is very happy for the fact
that out of all that has happened, we have gotten the final judgement. It’s
been a long time; we have waited for how long it took. Finally the victory is
here” Gayle told the publication.
It’s the latest win for the Nah Sell Out Mi Fren who previously had
a lawsuit by McGregor – who sued for fraud, breach of contract, defamation of
character and copyright infringement – thrown out after Khago broke ties with
him.
Khago has not commented but took to
Instagram to share an article on the ruling.
According to a breakdown of the damages
awarded, Khago will receive US$300,000.00 in statutory damages for copyright
infringement, US$99,568.59 in compensatory damages for tortious interference
with business relationships, US$298,705.77 in punitive damages for tortious
interference with business relationships and US$65, 352.00 in reasonable
expenses and attorney fees.
