JoJo -- Record Co. Won't Let Me 'Get Out'

Posted Aug 21st 2009 4:30PM by TMZ Staff

JoJo That JoJo singer chick is finally old enough to file a lawsuit -- 18 -- and guess what?! She's already picking a legal war with her record company!

In a lawsuit just filed in NYC courts, JoJo claims her record company shoved her into a musical "limbo" because they wont let her out of her contract -- and they won't let her record a new album either!

JoJo, real name Joanna Levesque, now wants a judge to force Da Family Entertainment to cut her loose -- plus she wants at least $500,000 for her troubles.

8. More power to her. She's INCREDIBLY talented and her label have continually screwed her over. Amazing.

9. Technically, I believe that now that she is 18 she can decide if she wishes to continue with the contracts that her parents(or others representing her) agreed to while she was a minor. Depending on how the contracts were written.
