Jill Scott Defends Herself Against Lawsuit

In response to being sued by her former label, Hidden Beach Recording, for breaching her contract, Jill Scott released the following statement.

It reads:

“The lawsuit filed on February 3, 2010 by Hidden Beach Recordings against Jill Scott has no legal merit and misrepresents the history of Ms. Scott’s relationship with the label. Jill Scott has the legal right to terminate her recording contract with Hidden Beach Recordings under California├óΓé¼Γäós 7-year rule, where she had been a recording artist for more than 10 years. During her time at Hidden Beach Recordings, she released several highly successful albums.
