Rapper Offset is facing renewed legal scrutiny after a music producer filed a federal lawsuit alleging unauthorized use of a song featured on the artist’s solo album “Set It Off.”
According to court documents, producer Chase Dalton Rose, professionally known as ChaseTheMoney, claims Offset used the track “Worth It” on his second solo album without a finalized agreement covering payment or ownership rights. The lawsuit states that while Rose participated in the song’s development and allowed Offset to record vocals over the production, no binding compensation deal or formal transfer of rights was ever completed.
Rose is seeking a full financial accounting related to the song and a court order requiring Offset to pay a portion of the revenue generated from the release.
The latest complaint follows earlier litigation initiated by Offset in March 2025. In that filing, the rapper asked a federal court to confirm that he had already fulfilled the terms of an existing agreement with the producer.
Offset’s legal team argued that discussions with ChaseTheMoney began in early 2023, when the producer was asked to contribute to the album. They alleged both sides agreed to terms totaling $20,000 plus a four percent royalty share, which would be divided equally between Rose and a co-producer. Set It Off was later released in October 2023.
Three months after the album’s release, Offset alleged that Rose’s new management sought revised compensation terms. According to the earlier lawsuit, the producer allegedly requested five times the original amount.
In response to the newly filed claims, a spokesperson for Offset strongly denied wrongdoing, telling TMZ: “These claims are completely meritless and nothing more than a money grab. A deal was negotiated with Mr. Rose and his management, and he agreed to compensation and credit for his contribution. After the record was released, and with new management in place, he refused to honor that agreement and has attempted to renegotiate for fees well beyond industry standards under the threat of litigation.”
The dispute remains active in federal court, with no final ruling issued.
