Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have reportedly filed a $28 million lawsuit against Triller.

According to TMZ, the two Hip Hop titans claim the video-sharing social networking service failed to hold up the financial end of the bargain when they decided to sell their popular Verzuz platform.

Court documents obtained by the publication state Triller defaulted on its agreement after just two payments.

Swizz and Timbo said they settled with Triller after the initial default, but allege Triller continued to make one installment and then failed to pay the remaining balance.

Swizz Beatz and Timbaland started Verzuz in 2020 as a way to combat the quarantine blues. In March 2021, Verzuz was acquired by the Triller Network, the parent company of the popular Triller app.

As part of the deal, the two Grammy Award-winning producers joined Triller to help oversee its music department.
