By Jaelani Turner-Williams, Complex | Music, Sneakers | Pop Culture, News | Chance the Rapper has won his court battle against former manager Pat Corcoran. On Friday (March 20), according to the Chicago Sun-Times, a jury found that Corcoran, formerly known as Pat the Manager, failed to prove that he was owed $3.8 million in unpaid commissions and royalties by his then-client.
Chance (real name Chancellor Bennett) was managed by Corcoran for nearly 10 years until their partnership dissolved in 2020 following the release of Chance’s 2019 album, The Big Day.
“I claim victory in the name of the. Lord,” Chance told reporters following the verdict, which came after two hours of jury deliberation. The 32-year-old originally sought $1 million in damages, however the amount awarded ended up being just $35. Corcoran, however, was ordered to relinquish the website domain ChanceRaps.com.
“We respect the jury’s decision, but the message to music managers is clear: Get it in writing,” Jay Scharkey, one of Corcoran’s lawyers, told the Sun-Times. “The jury award of $35 speaks to how seriously the jury viewed Chance’s case.”
