Chante Moore was well on her way to getting back in the music game with her new album but now it appears her new project may have hit a snag. According to The Blast, the R&B Divas: Los Angeles star is accused of using fraudulent funds to produce her new album, The Rise of the Phoenix. Then, to make matters worse, it has been reported that Chante used the funds, which are said to have come from a “criminal enterprise,” despite knowing the funds were illegal. There are also claims that the money was used to “artificially inflate” album sales in hopes of revitalizing the singer’s career.  It’s a sticky situation, but the details are enough to have you wondering what’s really going on.

$3.6 Million Gone:

The publication claims the 90s R&B singer is embroiled in a “complicated fraud and racketeering case.” The report on the allegations goes on to detail claims from the two men involved. The men, whose names have not been released, claim they were swindled out of $3.6 million. The guys believe they were ripped off because Chante allegedly used the funds for numerous purposes, including payments for personal debts.

Here’s an excerpt from the report:

The guys who were ripped off claim their money was used to open a hair bar in Georgia, buy a house, and (as odd as this might sound) support Moore’s career. In their lawsuit, the two men claim the defendants used some of their money to buy Moore plane tickets for her musical tour, lavish her with gifts, fund the production of and marketing campaign for her seventh album, “The Rise of the Phoenix,” and even to “pay off her significant personal debt.”

Denying All Allegations:

Since Chante Moore is also accused of inflating her record sales with iTunes purchases, the men claim they should be entitled to the profits of her album. A judge has yet to rule in the case, but if Chante Moore is found at fault, she could be forced to pay back millions of dollars. The singer has adamantly denied the allegations and she’s requesting that the case is dismissed.
