Iggy Azalea has reportedly sold 100 per cent of her shares in her master recording and publishing catalogue in an eight-figure deal with Domain Capital.
The deal includes complete rights to the Australian rapper’s existing music catalogue.
This collection contains her number one hit “Fancy” (featuring Charlie Xcx), “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora) and “Problem” (with Ariana Grande).
A source close to the deal told Billboard that it includes “an additional trigger”, which would allow Azalea to earn future revenue on master recordings.
The music artist’s manager Reece Pearson and her attorney Peter Paterno are said to have arranged the deal.
Azalea’s discography is made up of her four albums, The New Classic (2014), Surviving the Summer, In My Defense (2019) and her latest release from 2021, titled The End of an Era.
Azalea, born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, seemingly confirmed the news on Twitter, resharing screenshots of Billboard’s article.

The 1990s reggae rock band Sublime will get the biopic treatment from 3000 Pictures and Chernin Entertainment with “Hunger Games” filmmaker Francis Lawrence directing and “Ozark” showrunner Chris Mundy writing the script, Sony Pictures said Thursday.
The film will tell the story of how Long Beach musicians Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh became the leading figures of the ’90s alternative rock wave with a trio of albums that fused rock, reggae and ska punk among other influences. While the band developed a devoted following during their career from 1988 to 1996, it wasn’t until Nowell’s untimely death from a heroin overdose in 1996 that songs like “What I Got” and “Santeria” became breakthrough chart-toppers and made Sublime one of the most successful bands of the decade.

Sublime is the latest rock band getting the biopic treatment.
Sony’s 3000 Pictures is developing a movie with “Hunger Games” director Francis Lawrence about the group from Long Beach, Calif.
The band is best known for its fusion of reggae, punk, ska and hip-hop, all wrapped into a subgenre of alternative rock that they were at the forefront of throughout the 1990s. Songs like “What I Got,” “Santeria” and “Doin’ Time” became radio hits on local rock stations such as Los Angeles’ Kroq. The band’s lead singer, Bradley Nowell, died in May 1996 from a drug overdose, with the band’s final self-titled album releasing shortly after.
The screenplay will be handled by Chris Mundy, whose notable works include writing credits on “Ozark” and “Criminal Minds.” Alongside Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready, Dave Kaplan and Peter Paterno are producing the film. Lawrence most recently directed the upcoming adventure film “Slumberland,...

In the four days since Morgan Wallen was captured on camera saying a racial slur, blowback from the country music industry has been sweeping. He’s been exiled from country radio, major talent agency WME dropped him as a client, and his record deal — a joint partnership between Big Loud and Republic Records — has been suspended indefinitely.
The label development, which puts Wallen’s most important business contract in limbo, is the most curious — and ambiguous. Several industry attorneys, executives, and insiders, many of whom spoke on condition of anonymity,...

The lawyers representing Bill Murray’s golf apparel company sent a humorous response to the Doobie Brothers after the band issued a similarly comedic letter that accused Murray of using their “Listen to the Music” in ads without compensation.
On Wednesday, the Doobie Brothers’ lawyers publicly sent a quirky legal warning to the William Murray Golf company about the commercials. “It’s a fine song. I know you agree because you keep using it in ads for your Zero Hucks Given golf shirts,” attorney Peter Paterno wrote. “However, given that...

The lawyers for the Doobie Brothers are threatening to sue Bill Murray for using one of the band’s songs without permission in ads for the actor’s line of golf shirts, but they’d be totally cool with him using the song if only his shirts weren’t “so damn ugly.”
That’s just part of the hilarious legal notice the rockers’ legal team sent to Murray on Wednesday in a formal request to get him to “Listen to the Music” and actually pay up.
“We understand that you’re running other ads using music from other of our clients. It seems like the only person who uses our clients’ music without permission more than you do is Donald Trump,” attorney Peter Paterno writes at one point.
He continues: “This is the part where I’m supposed to cite the United States Copyright Act, excoriate you for not complying...

Kanye West sounded off on his split with co-managers Scooter Braun and Izvor Zivkovic — among many other topics — in a Wednesday morning Twitter fusillade.
“I no longer have a manager. I can’t be managed. I’m nobody’s ‘client,’” he tweeted, before claiming in subsequent posts that his Yeezy apparel clothing business will “hit a billion dollars” in 2018 and is “on its way” to becoming a decacorn (a company with a $10 billion valuation). He also said he’s currently “the single highest paid person in footwear.”
“Yes I got rid of my last lawyer why?,” he continued. “Because he wouldn’t come to work full time. I also asked my last manager to come work full time for Yeezy of course the last lawyer and manager said no. So now I hired a CEO and a CFO and i have two full time lawyers as of now,” although he did not reveal their names.

Yeezy is a “lifestyle” and Kanye West wants his people on board 100%. That’s the word from insiders relating to the rapper’s two-year relationship with manager Scooter Braun. The two parted ways professionally amicably this week, as reported in TMZ and Hits.
Not one to participate in the traditional tropes of the music industry, a source says West gave his core team, which includes attorney Peter Paterno, an ultimatum: to conduct all business through his Yeezy organization. A suggestion to restructure his management and bring Braun’s services in-house was turned down, though the two may continue to work on other projects together between the two companies. “They parted on good terms,” says a source.
The split comes at a challenging time for West, who says he has lined up five albums for release in five consecutive weeks in May and June — one by himself, one in collaboration with Kid Cudi,...

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Encino Man, that little film in which two high school students, social climber Dave (Sean Astin) and outcast Stoney (Pauly Shore), find a frozen caveman (Brendan Fraser) buried in Dave’s yard, thaw him out, and enroll him in high school. Knowing that the DVD’s only special features are the original trailer and a three-and-a-half-minute production featurette — the highlight of which is watching a movie producer use a gigantic cell phone on set — EW decided to celebrate by creating its own set of extras with help from Shore.

Metallica star Lars Ulrich has been hit with a lawsuit from his former personal assistant, alleging he failed to pay overtime. Steven Wiig has filed papers in Marin Superior Court, California claiming he worked up to 70 hours a week while Ulrich was at home and up to 80 hours a week while the band was on tour.
He alleged he worked from 2001 until 2009 taking on duties including chauffeuring, managing the star's art collection, arranged scheduling and performing numerous errands on request, for which he received $45,000 a year, as well as an oral agreement for annual bonuses.
Wiig claims he did not receive bonuses in 2006 and 2008 - and when he left the job in 2009, he was not paid for the accumulated overtime he'd worked. Wiig says he received a "partial bonus" of $20,000 in December. He is seeking unspecified damages for alleged state and federal labor violations, breach of oral contract and continuing wages.
