Chris Daughtry is being sued by three former bandmates who claim he defrauded them out of proceeds from four songs they wrote together.
Daughtry is accused of “constructive fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, unfair trade practices, and other deceptive and wrongful conduct,” in the lawsuit.
Daughtry responded to the allegations on his band’s official website, saying, “I am very hurt by these false accusations. The songs listed in this lawsuit were written solely by me and no one else and at this time, I have no further comment.”
Daughtry rose to fame in 2006 after placing fourth on “American Idol.”
