From NY Daily News:
The tween sensation is suing the record label that made her famous, saying they have no hold on her now that her seven years of service are up.
Joanna Noelle Blagden Levesque says in a lawsuit against Da Family Records and Blackground Records that under New York State law, minors cannot sign contracts that last more than seven years.
JoJo, now 22, and her parents signed a contract with company subsidiaries in 2004 when she was 12 and has sold 5 million records. Therefore, she argues, her contract was up in March 2011.
Universal Music, which distributes JoJo’s recordings, did not return calls seeking comment.
