Singer Jill Scott has responded to the accusations levied against her by her former record label, Hidden Beach Recordings, and denies any wrongdoing.

Representatives for Scott released a statement saying that she was within her rights to end her contract with the label and that the diva has many projects in the works. 

"The lawsuit filed on February 3, 2010 by Hidden Beach Recordings against Jill Scott has no legal merit and misrepresents the history of Ms. Scott's relationship with the label.  Jill Scott has the legal right to terminate her recording contract with Hidden Beach Recordings under California's 7-year rule, where she had been a recording artist for more than 10 years. During her time at Hidden Beach Recordings, she released several highly successful albums. At this time, with many creative projects in the works which include music, film, and television roles, and product development, Ms. Scott looks forward to continuing to further her artistry and building the Jill Scott brand in other creative environments."

Hidden Beach claims that they signed the songstress to a six-album contract and she left after only completing three. They are suing for breach of contract and seeking unspecified damages that could total several million dollars.
