Babyface Sues Anita Baker

Anita Baker: My EverythingGrammy-winning singer-producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds has filed a breach of contract lawsuit against singer Anita Baker, claiming she owes him more than $250,000, the Los Angeles Times reports. According to the lawsuit, filed April 13 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Baker broke two oral agreements with Edmonds, who co-wrote, produced and performed on the song "Like You Used to Do" on Baker's 2004 album My Everything. The lawsuit claims Baker refused to pay Edmonds producer's royalties. Babyface also alleges that he and Baker had an agreement to play four concerts together, but that Baker canceled two shows and refused to pay $150,000 for those dates. Album cover © Blue Note.
