Dionne Warwick Sues Rights Firm for Millions

Dionne Warwick has initiated legal action against the Artist Rights Enforcement Corp. (AREC), asserting that the firm illicitly obtained millions of dollars in royalty revenue. Warwick's lawyers characterized AREC as a deceptive entity, "cloaking itself in professional credibility while concealing its own self-interest."

This countersues AREC's December 2025 lawsuit, where the firm alleged Warwick owed them substantial unpaid commissions for royalty recovery services. One transaction cited involved clearing a sample for Doja Cat's song "Paint the Town Red."
