Muni Long is being sued by her former managers, powerhouse music execs Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon, for allegedly failing to pay them more than $600,000 in commissions and expenses.
According to a new lawsuit filed by Zulu and Dixon’s company, Ebony Son Entertainment, Inc., Muni (real name Priscilla Renea Hamilton) allegedly breached their management agreement and stopped paying them after they helped relaunch her career and secure major deals.
The suit, which names Muni and several of her companies, including Super Giant Records LLC, Muni Long Inc., and White Rose Garden LLC, accuses her of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and what they describe as shady financial practices meant to “hide income.”
Court docs claim that Muni Long struck a verbal management agreement with Ebony Son back in 2023 at the Essence Festival, agreeing to pay the industry-standard 20% of her gross revenue plus expenses. Zulu and Dixon, who famously helped build Ludacris’ career and co-founded Disturbing Tha Peace, say they guided Muni Long through one of the biggest years of her career, including the rollout of her 2024 album “Revenge,” which featured her hit single “Made For Me.”
They also claim they secured her major performance bookings at the Aretha Franklin Theater, SiriusXM Atlanta, and the So So Def Anniversary Show, as well as lucrative publishing and songwriting deals with stars like Shenseea and Tiwa Savage.
But according to the lawsuit, Muni Long abruptly stopped paying commissions in October 2024. She officially ended their relationship in January 2025, after, they say, she’d already made millions.
“Muni Long shamelessly reneged on her promises to pay Plaintiff the agreed-upon, customary percentage of revenue she earned and only earned because Plaintiff assisted in obtaining those engagements,” the lawsuit reads.
“This stunning display of ungratefulness and lack of integrity compels Plaintiff’s pursuit of the claims in the Complaint to obtain that which rightfully belongs to Plaintiff.”
Ebony Son claims they helped Muni Long generate over $5 million in revenue, yet they’re still owed $612,000, including $458,600 in unpaid commissions and $153,698 in reimbursable expenses. They also want the court to appoint a special master to audit Muni’s financial records and confirm the verbal agreement they say was made.
The filing even accuses Muni Long of using her business network to “shield assets” and avoid payments, a claim that could get messy if proven true.
For those unfamiliar, Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon are respected names in hip-hop and music management circles. The duo helped launch Ludacris’s multi-platinum career and is known for its longstanding influence in shaping Atlanta’s music scene.
So far, Muni Long has not issued a public statement on the allegations, but the internet is already buzzing with opinions.
