Tony Brown, the co-founder of Maverick City Music, has hit the Grammy-winning worship collective with racketeering claims over a buyout agreement, which he says was the product of threats and coercion by the group’s CEO and the brother of ’90s hip-hop star MC Hammer.

The allegations come on the heels of a bombshell fraud lawsuit brought against Maverick City Music by former member Chandler Moore, who claims CEO Norman Gyamfi orchestrated secret deals and forged Moore’s signature to steal millions of dollars’ worth of publishing royalties.
