Frank Ocean Settles Legal Dispute With “Blonde” Producer Om’Mas Keith

Last year in February, Frank Ocean and Om’Mas Keith sued each other after the producer said there was a lack of accreditation for his work on Blonde. Om’Mas publicly stated that he deserved a 50% share of the credit for all the writing on the album.

Frank Ocean then took legal action, making the point that Keith was brought into the fold as a “work-for-hire producer,” and was compensated as such. Om’Mas Keith countersued the singer, reverting back to his original claims.

As of Yesterday, it was reported that the two have settled outside of court. With the help of an independent arbitrator, a “negotiated settlement executed by them” was put into order, and both Ocean and Keith will be held responsible for their own legal fees.

However, the report does not indicate, whether or not both sides have agreed to give more accreditation on Blonde to Om’Mas. Om’Mas is a Grammy Award-winning producer, musician, composer and engineer. He’s know for working with Jay-Z, Vic Mensa, and most notably as a member of the supergroup Sa-Ra.
