Recent Legal Issues

In a recent interview, Simz discussed her frustration regarding a lawsuit against her former producer, Inflo, who is also the founder of SAULT. She claims that he withheld loans amounting to an estimated $2 million, along with failing to account for some funds provided by Sony for recording costs. This legal battle has left her feeling “really frustrated and hurt.”

Among the allegations is the claim that Simz lent Inflo £1 million to lock in the only SAULT show to date, which was held at Drumsheds in London. The suit asserts that the condition for the gig was that Inflo was to repay Simz by early December 2023, but it claims he failed to do so. Simz was therefore allegedly unable to pay her tax liabilities in full and received interest charges.

‘NO THANK YOU’ was awarded four stars, writing: “‘NO THANK YOU’s quiet, understated release provides parallels to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Untitled Unmastered’ release from 2016, a series of leftovers from his ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ sessions. That too had a certain looseness and freedom to the tracks, and, much like Lamar, a clear-headed Simz has something to say urgently. The case for Simz to be recognized as a true modern great has only been strengthened with this release.”
