LOS ANGELES — Rapper Offset is facing fresh legal trouble after a music producer filed a federal lawsuit accusing him of using a track on his album without a proper agreement in place, according to TMZ.

The dispute centres on the song “Worth It,” which appears on Offset’s second solo album “Set It Off.” Producer Chase Dalton Rose, professionally known as ChaseTheMoney, claims the rapper recorded and released the track without finalising compensation terms or securing rights to the production.

Court documents cited by TMZ indicate that while the producer collaborated with Offset and allowed him to record vocals over the instrumental, no binding agreement was ever executed regarding payment or ownership. Rose is now seeking a full financial accounting of the song’s earnings, along with a court order compelling Offset to pay a share of the profits.

However, the legal battle is far from one-sided. Back in March 2025, Offset reportedly filed his own lawsuit against the producer, asking the court to confirm that an earlier agreement had already been reached and fulfilled. According to the rapper’s legal team, ChaseTheMoney was offered a deal worth $20,000 plus a 4% royalty split, which would be shared with a co-producer.

Offset’s camp alleges that tensions escalated months after the album’s October 2023 release, when the producer—now under new management—attempted to renegotiate the deal for significantly higher compensation, allegedly demanding up to five times the original amount.

In a statement to TMZ, a spokesperson for Offset dismissed the claims as “completely meritless,” describing the lawsuit as a “money grab” and insisting that a fair agreement had already been negotiated and accepted.

The case remains ongoing in federal court.

Meanwhile, the rapper has also been making headlines for reasons beyond the courtroom. Earlier this month, Offset was reportedly shot in the leg outside a Hard Rock venue in Florida. He was treated in hospital and later discharged, with no arrests made in connection with the incident.

As legal proceedings continue, the outcome could have wider implications for artist-producer agreements in the music industry, particularly around informal collaborations that later turn contentious.

UFC bettors can engage while watching fights by analyzing who will win first and how long the fight will last. Those who understand fighters’ tendencies and bout pacing can tap into valuable betting opportunities beyond traditional moneyline odds. 

Betting markets are becoming more complex as the mixed martial arts spectator sport rises in popularity. You can compare the best UFC betting sites before making a wager. Casual and experienced bettors can deeply analyze fighters’ styles, durability, and strategy when in a main event or preliminary card bout. 

Understanding Over/Under Rounds In the UFC

An over/under round is a type of proposition (prop) bet in UFC fighting. Sportsbooks set a total number of how many rounds a bout may last (such as 2.5). The half-rounds eliminate the possibility of the round ending in a tie or a “push”. 

Choosing an over bet means you think the bout will last beyond the posted number. Select an under bet if you think the round will have fewer rounds than that number. The results aren’t always clear because of the half-round odds. However, it’s an easy bet to wager once you have understood the ins and outs of UFC fighting based on the specific players’ abilities and weaknesses. 

An Example Of How Over/Under Rounds Work

A UFC match lasting 2.5 rounds equates to 12 minutes and 30 seconds (5 minutes per round. Betting over means you believe the bout will last more than 12.5 minutes. Betting under means you think the fight will occur for less than that time frame. 

An unexpected single punch or referee stoppage at this time in a bout can change the outcome of an over/under bet. Bettors sit anxiously to see if the fight is getting too close to the over or under mark. 

One of the most famous over/under wagering opportunities occurred when Conor McGregor faced off against José Aldo during UFC 194. McGregor knocked out Aldo in a record-breaking 13 seconds. This was an instant win for under bettors. 

UFC 248 pitted Israel Adesanya against Yoel Romero, lasting 5 rounds. The UFC ruled in favor of Adesanya in a unanimous decision. Sportsbooks may have had a 3.5 or 4.5 odds line in for this bout. 

Why Bettors Choose Over/Under Markets

Choosing a winner can be difficult, especially if the fighters haven’t gone against one another before. Bettors can focus on fight dynamics to decide how long a bout will last. Sometimes it’s easier to decode a fight’s pace rather than choosing the final winner. 

Two aggressive fighters with substantial knock-out power could result in a fast-paced bout where those betting under odds lines could possibly win. A matchup of two durable fighters with more defensive skills could result in a longer bout, where over bettors benefit. 

Key Factors To Consider In Over/Under Betting

Bettors should remember these variables when making over/under wagering decisions:

• Fighter style.
• Finishing rate.
• Each contender’s durability and stamina. 
• The maximum length of an event. 

Strikers rely on power punches that could quickly knock out their opponents. Defensive fighters could hold up longer as they build their strength to overpower opposing contenders. 

Analyze a fighter’s knockout and submission history to discover how an upcoming bout may end. Fighters with strong conditioning can steadily keep up the pace in later rounds, which can result in a successful over bet. 

Main events last about 5 rounds (25 minutes). Once fighters exhaust this time, the matchup transitions into the decision stage, where judges analyze the fighters’ performances to decide the final winner.

ESIGODINI – The already harrowing narrative surrounding the catastrophic Toyota Quantum explosion on the Bulawayo–Beitbridge Road has taken an even more grim turn with the discovery of a human skull and another body part at the crash site. This chilling find, made days after the initial inferno, has intensified fears that the death toll from […]

HARARE – A storm is brewing within the ruling ZANU PF after its youth wing publicly distanced itself from a controversial US$3.6 million “donation” by businessman Wicknell Chivayo to Members of Parliament, exposing growing internal tensions ahead of a critical constitutional vote.

Chivayo, a politically connected businessman, announced over the weekend that he would disburse US$10,000 to each of the country’s 360 MPs and senators, claiming he had received personal approval from Emmerson Mnangagwa. The funds, he said, would be channelled through Parliament for “constituency development.”

The timing of the pledge—just weeks before lawmakers are expected to vote on the contentious Constitutional Amendment (No. 3) Bill—has triggered alarm among opposition figures and civil society groups, who view it as an attempt to influence legislators.

However, in a rare public rebuke, the ZANU-PF Youth League issued a sharply worded statement rejecting the proposal, warning that it undermines the integrity of Parliament and risks reducing a key state institution to a transactional entity.

“We firmly take a stand against any attempts… to influence any arm of Government, be it the Executive, the Judiciary or Parliament,” the youth wing said in a statement. “Parliament… will never survive on handouts. It cannot be seen as being bought or swayed through donations.”

The statement, released under the authority of the Youth League leadership, suggested that Chivayo had either misunderstood or disregarded the constitutional role of Parliament, urging that any philanthropic efforts be directed toward communities rather than state institutions.

The unusually direct criticism has been widely interpreted as a sign of internal discord within ZANU-PF, particularly given Chivayo’s perceived proximity to the presidency. Analysts say the intervention by the youth wing reflects unease within sections of the ruling party over the optics and implications of the donation.

Chivayo, whose wealth is largely tied to government-linked contracts, framed the offer as an Independence Day gesture extended to both ruling party and opposition MPs. However, he also implied that lawmakers who refuse the funds could see the money redirected to alternative individuals within their constituencies—raising concerns about coercion and parallel political structures.

Opposition groups argue that the development reinforces fears that the legislative process is being compromised. The pending constitutional amendment has already drawn fierce resistance, with organisations such as the Defend the Constitution Platform withdrawing from parliamentary consultations, citing a lack of transparency and good faith.

While the Office of the President has not formally commented on Chivayo’s claims of approval, the Youth League’s statement appears to contradict the notion of unanimous support within ZANU-PF ranks.

Political observers say the episode underscores deeper fault lines within the ruling party, as competing factions position themselves around questions of governance, institutional integrity, and succession.

As Parliament prepares to debate a bill with far-reaching implications for Zimbabwe’s constitutional order, the controversy surrounding Chivayo’s pledge—and the backlash it has triggered within ZANU-PF itself—has added a new layer of uncertainty to an already charged political landscape.
