Universal Music Group is trying to dismiss Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst’s lawsuit pursuing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.

The multinational corporation has responded to the suit, which seeks $200 million and alleges it has withheld royalties from artists.

It also claimed in its motion to dismiss the suit, “Plaintiffs’ entire narrative that UMG tried to conceal royalties is a fiction.”
