Ginuwine is filing another lawsuit against King Music Group and Michael Bourné for breaching a contract with the R&B singer.

This is just the latest in a drawn out drama between the singer and King Music, beginning when the crooner inked a deal with the label last year, according to Business Wire.

The contract with King Music Group, Inc. - a company formed by pal Bourné of Memphis, Tenn. - outlined terms providing Ginuwine with $1.75 million to record his first album with the company, including a $500,000 advance. But the singer never received payment and later found that there is no corporate record for King Music Group, Inc. anywhere in New York, California, Florida or Tennessee.

Ginuwine launched a lawsuit based upon that scheme and reached a settlement deal with the company. Now the singer claims that Bourne defaulted on the deal and hasn't paid him what they agreed upon.

He filed a complaint yesterday (Jan. 16), in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, for breach of contract and fraud against King and Michael Bourné. He's alleging that these latest breaches in contract have caused significant damages to his career, kept him from professional opportunities and recording new material.

"It is our belief that Mr. Bourné never intended to follow through with his and King Music Group's obligations under the Settlement Agreement," Ginuwine's attorney Brandon J. Witkow said via a statement. "Mr. Bourné has continuously misrepresented his intent and ability to comply with his promises. As a result, Ginuwine has no other choice but to pursue further legal action to obtain compensation for his lost professional opportunities and other damage he has suffered."

Ginuwine went double platinum with his albums The Bachelor and 100% Ginuwine. His subsequent sets, The Life and The Senior were both certified gold.
