She Deserves Better”: Tyler Perry Hires Legal Team to Uncover Truth Behind Angie Stone’s Missing Royalties—Family, Fans, and Da Brat Demand Answers Now

The music world is still reeling from the loss of soul and R&B icon Angie Stone, but her story is far from over.

In a shocking development, filmmaker and media mogul Tyler Perry is reportedly assembling a top-tier legal team to investigate what really happened to Stone’s royalties and publishing rights—millions in earnings that mysteriously vanished long before her passing.

And now, voices across the industry—led by rapper Da Brat—are calling for transparency, accountability, and justice.

“She Was Robbed in Life—We Can’t Let Her Be Robbed in Death”

According to sources close to the late singer, Angie Stone had already begun legal proceedings against Universal Music before her passing, accusing the label of withholding back royalties spanning decades.

“She put in work for over 40 years,” Perry said in a statement. “And she wasn’t compensated like she should have been. That’s not just unfair—it’s criminal.”

Stone, known for hits like “No More Rain” and “Brotha,” was a pioneering voice in neo-soul and a member of the original hip-hop trio The Sequence, one of the first female rap groups ever signed to a major label.

Despite her groundbreaking contributions, Stone reportedly saw very little financial return from her music catalog.

Tyler Perry Takes Action

Never one to stand by silently, Tyler Perry has allegedly begun retaining a team of entertainment lawyers and forensic accountants to trace where Angie’s publishing income went—and who may have benefited from her silence.

“Tyler isn’t doing this for headlines,” a source close to Perry revealed. “He’s doing it for her children. For her grandchildren. For every artist who was exploited and cast aside.”

Fans praised Perry online for stepping in, calling him a “guardian angel” for overlooked Black artists.

Da Brat Speaks Out: “This Ain’t Right”

Rapper and radio personality Da Brat broke her silence on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, sharing her heartbreak and anger over what’s happened to her friend.

“Angie was fighting for what was hers before she even left us,” Da Brat said. “We can’t let people get away with stealing from legends. Justice has to be served.”

She also urged fans to pray for Angie’s family—and especially for the grandchildren who may never know the full extent of what their grandmother created.

Fans Outraged: “Where Did the Money Go?”

The story has ignited outrage across social media. Fans and musicians alike are demanding to know:

• Where are Angie’s unpaid royalties?

• Who profited while she struggled?

• Why was her lawsuit against Universal never publicized?

“I’m sick to my stomach,” one fan wrote. “She gave us everything. And now we find out she died still fighting for her own paycheck?”

A Legacy Worth Fighting For

While the legal battle is just beginning, one thing is clear: Angie Stone’s voice will not be silenced in death.

Tyler Perry has vowed to pursue this fight not just for Angie, but for every artist who paved the way and was left behind.

“Her children and grandchildren deserve what she worked for,” Perry said. “And I won’t rest until they get it.”
