Music / NewsMusic / NewsMigos will pay $30,000 to settle a Fyre Festival lawsuitThe group were hit with a lawsuit last year, alongside other artists and influencers, for their involvement in the ill-fated festivalShareLink copied ✔️March 19, 2020March 19, 2020TextThom Waite Migos are to pay $30,000 (or just under £26,000) to settle an ongoing case that revolves around Fyre Festival.

Apparently, Messer aims to retrieve the money for investors who made losses on the festival. Among those he is targeting are artists who didn’t even turn up (presumably because they noticed something was pretty shady leading up to the festival). Migos were paid $100,000 to play at the event, according to NME, but have agreed to pay the $30,000 sum “as full and final settlement and complete satisfaction of any claims the Trustee has raised against the Defendant”. Up to $500,000 was allegedly paid out to other individual artists to appear, such as Blink-182, while Nue Agency reportedly received $730k for Pusha T, Desiigner, and Tyga.
