Emaza Gibson, a singer known for being part of the group Ceraadi, filed a lawsuit in the United States against singer Jason Derulo, alleging that he had requested sex in exchange for supposed favors related to the development of his artistic career. The information is from the New York Post.
According to the lawsuit, dated August 2021, Derulo contacted Emaza to involve her in a project that would include his music label, Future History, and Atlantic Records. The artist claims that she began working with the singer to create songs to be presented to executives at Atlantic Records. During this period, Derulo allegedly invited her to dates, such as drinks and dinners, invitations that the singer declined in hopes of maintaining a strictly professional relationship.
In November 2021, the situation reportedly intensified before a meeting with record company executives. The rapper reportedly suggested that another woman join them, which made Emana believe it was an intimate relationship.
Afterwards, Emaza was released from Atlantic Records on September 6, 2021. Her lawyer, Ron Zambrano, issued a statement claiming that Derulo “not only broke promises and violated contracts, but his threats of physical harm and unconscionable sexual advances toward the young woman, which is just trying to break into the industry, were outrageous and illegal.”
The singer has not yet commented on the accusations.
