Offset Sued Over Song “Worth It”

It looks like rapper Offset is back in the legal spotlight. A music producer has filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that the artist used a song titled “Worth It” on his solo album “Set It Off” without a proper agreement in place regarding payment or ownership.

The producer, Chase Dalton Rose, who goes by the professional name ChaseTheMoney, alleges that while he was involved in creating the production and allowed Offset to record vocals, no final deal was ever struck. This means no binding compensation or formal transfer of rights was completed for the track.

What the Producer is Asking For

Rose is seeking a full financial accounting for the song “Worth It.” Essentially, he wants the court to order Offset to pay him a share of the revenue generated from the song’s release. This situation adds another layer to the ongoing legal discussions surrounding the album’s production.

Offset’s Side of the Story

This isn’t the first legal move in this dispute. Offset himself filed a lawsuit back in March 2025, asking a federal court to confirm that he had already met the terms of an agreement with the producer. His legal team stated that discussions began in early 2023, with an alleged agreement of $20,000 plus a 4% royalty share, split between Rose and a co-producer.

The album “Set It Off” was released in October 2023. According to Offset’s initial filing, three months later, Rose’s new management allegedly tried to renegotiate the terms, demanding significantly higher fees – reportedly five times the original amount.

A “Money Grab”? Offset’s Spokesperson Responds

A spokesperson for Offset has strongly refuted the producer’s claims, calling them “completely meritless” and a “money grab.” They stated that a deal was indeed negotiated and agreed upon by Mr. Rose and his management, including compensation and credit. The spokesperson added that after the record was released and new management took over, Rose allegedly refused to honor the agreement and attempted to renegotiate for fees far above industry standards, using litigation as a threat.

This legal battle is still active in federal court, and no final decision has been made. It highlights the complex nature of music production agreements and the potential for disputes even after an album is released.
