Rapper Offset is embroiled in a federal lawsuit filed by music producer Chase Dalton Rose, known professionally as ChaseTheMoney, who alleges his track was used on Offset's 2023 solo album Set It Off without proper compensation.
According to court documents, Rose claims he collaborated with Offset on the song "Worth It," allowing the rapper to record vocals over his production. However, he asserts that no formal agreement regarding payment or rights transfer was ever finalized. Rose is now seeking a full financial accounting and a court order to compel Offset to share profits generated by the song.
In response, Offset's legal team has countered that a deal was indeed negotiated in early 2023, agreeing to pay Rose $20,000 plus a 4% royalty, to be split equally with a co-producer. The album was released in October 2023.
Offset's camp alleges that three months post-release, a new manager representing Rose demanded renegotiation, asking for five times the original agreed amount. In March 2025, Offset preemptively sued Rose, seeking a judicial declaration that the initial agreement remains valid and enforceable.
A spokesperson for Offset stated, "These claims are completely meritless and nothing more than a money grab. A deal was negotiated with Mr. Rose and his management, and he agreed to compensation and credit for his contribution. After the record was released, and with new management in place, he refused to honor that agreement and has attempted to renegotiate for fees well beyond industry standards under the threat of litigation."
The case remains ongoing, adding to Offset's recent challenges, including a non-fatal shooting incident earlier this month in Florida, for which no suspects have been arrested.
