Migos have dropped their suit against longtime talent lawyer Damien Granderson.
Quavious Marshall (Quavo), Kiari Cephus (Offset) and Kirsnick Ball (Takeoff) in July sued Granderson along with his current firm, Granderson Des Rochers, and his previous one, Davis Shapiro, alleging that “excessive fees” were charged without a proper written agreement and that the attorney failed to disclose conflicts of interest arising from his representation of their label, Quality Control Music.
