Controversy
Record label dispute

The two parties had a falling out when his old label instigated his wrongful incarceration, a video of the incident was filmed, and he elected to cancel his contract with the big label due to the label’s “breach of contract requirements,” according to the legal declaration.
Bad Boy Timz created the Shock Absorbers Music record label in May 2021 and secured a distribution contract with Empire Label. He alleged that his old label was responsible for his illegal detention and that a video was made of the incident.
