    Chandler Moore Files A Lawsuit Against Maverick City Music’s CEO Amid Departure

    Chandler Moore has filed a lawsuit against Maverick City Music’s CEO, Norman Gyamfi. He has accused him of allegedly stealing millions of dollars of royalties.

    Moore’s lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in an Atlanta Federal Court. Moore announced he was no longer part of the group and that he would focus on solo projects.

    In his lawsuit, the singer named several corporate entities; however, the focus is on Gyamfi, who was Moore’s manager before he acquired an ownership stake in Maverick City Music.

    “Moore reposed great trust and confidence in and accepted Gyamfi’s guidance in his business and financial decisions,” the lawsuit states. “Gyamfi, however, abused his power and the trust that Moore bestowed upon him.”

    The lawsuit goes on to say that Gyamfi had been “self-dealing” starting in 2021, “when he brokered the sale of Maverick City Music’s masters to Sony distribution arm The Orchard without telling Moore or disclosing that he would receive a commission from the deal,” as reported by Billboard.”

    Moore also accused Gyamfi of directing Essential Music Publishing, Sony’s Christian music publishing division, to give all of the singer’s songwriting royalties to the group, which Moore also accused the group’s CEO of forging his signature on the agreement.

    Chandler Moore signed his final contract with Maverick City Music in 2024, revealing that he has “fulfilled his obligations by writing new music and completing a tour.” Moore claims that Gyamfi and his associates took more than $800,000 in royalties under the agreement.

    Moore is suing Gyamfi for breach of contract, forgery, and conversion. He’s currently seeking financial damages and a court order to void all of his contracts with Maverick City Music.

    Moore’s departure announcement went along with another member of the group, Naomi Raine, who also announced her departure from the group.
