Producer Kenny Edmonds, known as Babyface, has filed a $250,000 breach of contract lawsuit against singer Anita Baker. The lawsuit claims that Baker refused to pay Edmonds royalties from a song he co-wrote, produced and performed on. According to Edmonds, he had an verbal agreement with Baker for the song “Like You Used to Do”, featured on her 2004 album “My Everything”, for which the singer owes him $100,000 in producer royalties from an estimated more than 500,000 albums sold.

The second claim in the lawsuit is that Edmonds had a second agreement with Baker to play four concerts together, in Los Angeles, Detroit, New York and Chicago, but the R&B diva canceled the Chicago and Detroit dates, refusing to pay him $150,000.

According to Edmonds’ lawyer, Howard King, verbal agreements are a standard practice among musicians.
