  "account": "In 2020, Chance The Rapper terminated his long-time manager, Pat Corcoran, who was previously known as Pat The Manager. Subsequently, Corcoran filed a lawsuit against Chance, alleging that he was owed $2.5 million in unreimbursed expenses. In response, Chance countersued Corcoran, accusing him of self-dealing and incompetence. Recently, a Cook County judge ruled in Chance's favor, marking the end of their legal dispute. Judge James Hanlon determined that Corcoran had violated his fiduciary duties to Chance. According to the judge's decision, Corcoran must repay up to $1.5 million to Chance. These funds would cover vendor commissions and forfeit 15% of his management compensation on Chance's merchandise. The judge did not grant Chance punitive damages nor the full $10 million in damages that Chance sought over the years. In a statement, Chance expressed gratitude for finally concluding this chapter of his life. Meanwhile, Corcoran's representative stated that the court found no basis for Chance's claim of more than $10 million in damages, affirming that Corcoran had performed valuable work without engaging in self-dealing.",
