Dionne Warwick is facing a lawsuit claiming the legendary singer has turned her back on a rights management company that negotiated her deal for the famed sample of her song “Walk on By” in Doja Cat‘s chart-topping hit “Paint the Town Red.”

In a case filed Monday (Dec. 15), a company called Artists Rights Enforcement Corp. says it’s repped Warwick for years “at great effort and expense” on tricky issues, ranging from the recent Doja sample to a 2002 lawsuit against Atlantic Records. But the company says she’s now trying to back out.

“After decades of service, Ms. Warwick is now trying to evade paying Artists Rights hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars,” the company’s lawyers write. “In so doing, she has violated her contracts with Artists Rights.”

Artists Rights says it provided its services to Warwick for years “at no cost to her,” assuming all the risk and upfront costs. In return, it says she agreed in 2002 to pay the company a 50 percent cut of any money recovered through the enforcement efforts — and to do so “in perpetuity.”

Such arrangements are not unheard of in the music industry, which confronts many artists, even legendary stars, with a thicket of complicated rights deals with a slew of different companies. They mirror contingency deals employed by some law firms, which represent plaintiffs for free with the hope of a big payoff in court.

Warwick’s arrangement worked well for both sides for years, according to Artists Rights, resulting in more than $2.5 million in revenue and a “sixtyfold” increase in royalty distributions from her record companies, according to the lawsuit. But in recent years, Warwick has “increasingly expressed her desire to stop paying Artists Rights,” the company says; in September, her lawyers allegedly reached out to “terminate” the agreement entirely.

“Artists Rights has performed all of its obligations under the contracts,” the company’s lawyers write. “Ms. Warwick has wrongfully and unreasonably repudiated the contracts.”

Among its work for Warwick, Artists Rights says it handled a 2002 lawsuit against Atlantic and others over the royalties to her chart-topping 1974 hit “Then Came You.” When the case finally settled in 2004, and Warwick was “finally was able to receive some of the royalties that she justly deserved,” the settlement deal signed by the star allegedly required that royalties be routed through Artists Rights.

The company says it later handled issues with SoundExchange, as well as a complicated matter involving Sony Music paying her royalties to the state of California to satisfy unpaid taxes, among other disputes. Then in 2023, Artists Rights says it handled the clearance of a sample of Warwick’s “Walk On By” in Doja’s “Paint,” which spent three weeks atop the Hot 100 and 37 overall weeks on the chart: “Ms. Warwick profited enormously from Artists Rights’ work,” the lawsuit reads.

A rep for Warwick did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday. Doja Cat, Atlantic Records and others mentioned in the lawsuit were not named as defendants nor accused of any wrongdoing.

Daisuke Ashihara’s WORLD TRIGGER Vol. 29 is at No. 1 on Billboard Japan’s Book Hot 100 chart, tracking the week from Dec. 1 to 7 and released Dec. 11.

The Japan Book Hot 100 is a comprehensive list integrating physical books, e-books, library loans, and subscription-based metrics such as social media. This week, the 29th volume of the sci-fi manga WORLD TRIGGER launches atop the tally. The title leads both physical-store sales and the e-book metric and also earns points from e-commerce (EC) and social media.

Eiichiro Oda’s ONE PIECE Vol. 113, which became available digitally this week, climbs four spots from No. 6 to No. 2. Following at No. 3 is Mina Miyajima’s Naruse wa Miyako wo Kakenukeru, which vaults into the top 3 from outside last week’s top 20. The book is the final installment of the hit YA series centered on Akari Naruse, which has surpassed 1.8 million cumulative copies. Released Dec. 1, it finishes the week at No. 1 in social media, No. 2 in EC, and No. 3 in physical-store sales, landing in the top 3 across those metrics.

BLACKPINK‘s Lisa isn’t the only member of the girl group with an unmatched bag charm collection.

Jisoo has been getting into the mix, wearing a few bag charms on her Dior styles, although one remains in her rotation again and again: It’s Jellycat’s Bashful Bunny Bag Charm and it’s currently on sale at Amazon. If you’ve been waiting to get into the bag charm craze, then this is your sign to start.

The K-pop idol is partial to the pink and beige options of the charm, retailing for just $56.87. The plushie is made of an ultra-soft faux-fur fabric and features floppy ears, a cotton tail and a keyring attachment for attaching to bags and totes, a la Jisoo, or your keys to add character to your everyday accessories.

If you’re not a fan of Labubus, then this Jellycat charm is the next best thing to gift the trinket-lover in your life. It also doubles as a sort of emotional support plushie that you can take with you whenever your day leads you. When she doesn’t have the plushie attached to her designer bags, Jisoo has also been known to tote around the full-sized Bashful Bunny in pastel hues, also available on Amazon for $39 and up, depending on the color. These bag charms are an easy gifting idea for Christmas, birthdays and all life’s little celebratory moments in between.
