Dionne Warwick is being sued by a rights firm that claims she has backed out of a deal that entitles them to "hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars" for work recovering her royalties, court records show. The company, Artists Rights Enforcement Corporation, cites its negotiation of terms and payment for the "Walk on By" sample in Doja Cat's " Paint the Town Red " as a key payday for which it is owed an ongoing cut of royalties. Warwick's team did not immediately respond to Pitchfork's request for comment.
