Maverick City Accuses Brown of Contract Breach
13 Jan
Summary
- Maverick City Music countersued its co-founder for $10 million.
- The lawsuit alleges breach of contract and misuse of confidential information.
- A hearing occurred on January 12, 2026, with no rulings yet issued.
Maverick City Music filed a countersuit in New York on December 8, 2025, against co-founder Tony Brown. The Grammy-winning worship collective accuses Brown of breaching his contract by launching a new Christian music project, God Aura, which allegedly violates his non-compete agreement.
The group claims Brown is actively recruiting their artists and producers, using his old email account to suggest project connections. Maverick City seeks $10 million for breach of contract, tortious interference, and misappropriation of trade secrets.
Brown's legal team argues the non-compete clause is unenforceable as Maverick City allegedly failed to pay the agreed buyout sum. A hearing took place on January 12, 2026, in Atlanta, but no rulings have been announced.
