Offset Sued by Producer Over “Worth It” Track From Solo Album

Offset has been hit with a federal lawsuit from a music producer who claims the rapper used his song on a solo album without ever finalizing a payment deal. Producer Chase Dalton Rose, known professionally as ChaseTheMoney, filed the suit over the track “Worth It,” which appeared on Offset’s 2023 album Set It Off.

The producer admits he worked with Offset on the song, allowing the rapper to record vocals over one of his beats. However, Rose claims no formal agreement over compensation or transfer of rights was ever signed. He is now demanding a full accounting and a court order forcing Offset to hand over a portion of the revenue generated from the track. The Offset producer lawsuit adds to a growing list of legal and financial headaches for the former Migos member.

The dispute centers on what exactly was agreed upon before Set It Off dropped in October 2023. Offset’s team claims they reached out to ChaseTheMoney in early 2023 to work on the album. They say a deal was negotiated through the producer’s then-manager, a man identified only as J. Hill, to pay Rose $20,000 plus a 4% royalty split to be divided equally between Rose and his co-producer.

Offset’s attorneys point to written communications where ChaseTheMoney allegedly directed the rapper’s team to discuss clearance and logistics with Hill, explicitly referring to Hill as his manager.

Everything changed about three months after the album’s release. According to court filings, a new manager entered the picture for ChaseTheMoney and promptly demanded significantly better terms—more than five times the original producer fee and over double the royalty rate.

Offset’s team refused to renegotiate, insisting the original deal was already locked in. In response, the producer began claiming that his former manager, J. Hill, never actually had the authority to sign off on any agreement in the first place.

Back in March 2025, Offset actually sued ChaseTheMoney first. That lawsuit was what lawyers call a “declaratory judgment” action, Offset wasn’t accusing the producer of wrongdoing but was asking a federal judge to declare that the original contract was valid and enforceable and that he had fulfilled all his obligations.

That case is still ongoing. Now Rose has fired back with his own lawsuit, creating a legal tug of war over a single song.

The Offset producer lawsuit is far from the only legal battle on the rapper’s plate. A representative for Offset dismissed the producer’s claims, stating they are “completely meritless and nothing more than a money grab.” The statement emphasized that a deal was negotiated in good faith and that the producer only attempted to renegotiate after new management came on board, demanding fees “well beyond industry standards under the threat of litigation.”

Meanwhile, Offset was recently shot in the leg outside a casino in Hollywood, Florida. He was rushed to the hospital and released days later, with police reporting his injuries were non-life-threatening. No suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting.

Both lawsuits remain active in federal court. A judge will eventually have to decide whether J. Hill had the authority to bind ChaseTheMoney to the original deal or whether the absence of a signed, final agreement means Offset owes more money for “Worth It.”

For now, the song continues to stream on Set It Off, and both sides are digging in for what could be a lengthy legal fight over $20,000 and a 4% royalty split. The case highlights a common but often overlooked reality in the music industry: handshake deals and manager-led negotiations can unravel quickly when new representation enters the picture.
