Who is ChaseTheMoney? Offset sues ‘Set It Off’ producer over royalty dispute 

Offset is pursuing legal action against Set It Off producer ChaseTheMoney.

According to Billboard, the ex-Migos star is accusing the latter of trying to redo a contract that they already signed by allegedly demanding a surge in fees and royalties for his work on the track Worth It.

ChaseTheMoney, known legally as Chase Dalton Rose, is a music producer from Saint Louis, Missouri. He is most known for collaborating with artists like Valee, J. Cole, JID, and Ski Mask the Slump God. For his work on Set It Off with Offset, he produced the track alongside notable producers like Tay Keith, Vinylz, Boi-1da, Metro Boomin, Southside, and more. The album came out back in October 2023.

Reflecting on how he collaborates with such artists, he told Hot New Hip Hop back in November 2022:

"Yeah, I'm executive producing them. I don't do any writing, I leave that to the artists. I can't teach you how to do you. Valee is his own person, he's gonna have his own individual and unique way of projecting his voice onto a beat. I don't like to take control and control everybody, I just like to make sure we're all making music and having fun at the end of the day. Music is stressful usually, so my whole point was, 'Hey, let's just lock in and make a body of work.' I don't really care about the executive production credit, people are gonna know I made the beats regardless. I just make sure my name is attached to it."

Per the documents obtained by the outlet, the rapper's legal counsel are contending:

“The new manager proposed new terms for the producer agreement, including a producer fee that was more than five times the amount of the producer fee that was agreed upon, and a royalty percentage more than double."

Offset's lawyers are also claiming that his team “promptly responded” to these demands to point out that they had already agreed upon certain terms and these “would not be re-negotiated." However, ChaseTheMoney allegedly retorted by discrediting the man (J Hill) who negotiated their original deal of never being his manager in the first place.

“ChaseTheMoney referred to J Hill as his manager in various correspondence to Offset and his A&R team [and] ChaseTheMoney directed Offset and his A&R team to discuss the clearance of the recording with J Hill on ChaseTheMoney’s behalf,” Offset’s lawyers write. “J Hill had confirmed in writing that he represented ChaseTheMoney as his manager, and no person affiliated with or connected to ChaseTheMoney had ever claimed or contended prior to July of 2024 that that J Hill was not ChaseTheMoney’s manager.”

As reported by Hot New Hip Hop, the original contract states that ChaseTheMoney earned a $10,000 producer fee atop the half of the 2 percent producer royalty. Billboard reached out to the producer for a statement via Instagram, and he said, in a now-deleted message:

“I’m not being sued. It’s the other way around lol.”
