Producer Sues Offset Over Unauthorized Song Use on Set It Off

Offset is facing a new federal lawsuit from producer Chase Dalton Rose, known professionally as ChaseTheMoney, over the track “Worth It” from his album Set It Off. The complaint says Offset used the song on the project without an agreement in place, turning a single release into a dispute over payment, ownership and control in a streaming-era business where producer credits can hinge on paperwork as much as on the beat itself.

Set It Off was released on October 13, 2023, as Offset’s second solo studio album and his first solo album since 2019’s Father of 4. “Worth It” was one of the project’s singles and featured Don Toliver, giving the track a bigger commercial profile and a higher-stakes financial fight once the album hit the market.

According to the latest complaint, ChaseTheMoney says he worked on the song with Offset in a way that would have allowed the rapper to record vocals over one of his beats, but no agreement over compensation or transfer of rights was ever executed. The lawsuit says that after the record was released and new management came in, ChaseTheMoney refused to honor the earlier arrangement and tried to renegotiate for fees far beyond industry standards under threat of litigation.

Earlier court reporting described the dispute differently from Offset’s side. Attorneys for the former Migos member have said that representatives for ChaseTheMoney, identified as Chase Rose, signed a contract before the album’s October 2023 release covering payment for his production work on “Worth It.” That account says the deal had already been finalized through ChaseTheMoney’s then-manager, J. Hill, and should not have been reopened after the fact.

The financial gap at the center of the case is sharp. Earlier filings said the producer’s new management sought a fee more than five times the original amount and a royalty percentage more than double what had first been discussed. Offset’s side has argued that the original arrangement was binding and that no renegotiation was warranted once the song was cleared and released.

The conflict has already cut both ways in court. In March 2025, Offset sued ChaseTheMoney in Los Angeles federal court over the same “Worth It” dispute, asking the court to declare that he had fulfilled his obligations under the agreement and to settle the contract fight. The two cases now frame the same question from opposite directions: whether a binding deal existed, and who gets paid when a beat becomes a commercial single.
