LaTocha Scott, one-fourth of the iconic R&B group Xscape, has taken legal action against TV producer Mona Scott Young and Live Nation over the group’s upcoming tour with SWV.

Last month, Mona Scott Young announced that Xscape, excluding LaTocha Scott, would be hitting the road for a nationwide tour alongside SWV. However, LaTocha is not going down without a fight.

According to a report from Straight From The A, LaTocha, through her attorney Leron E. Rogers, is alleging that Live Nation and Mona Scott Young’s Monami Entertainment Group are infringing upon her rights as one-half of the trademark owner of the Xscape brand.

The letter sent by LaTocha’s attorney states that she was blindsided by the news of Xscape signing a contract for a tour without her consent. It further accuses Live Nation and Monami Entertainment of publicly advertising the Xscape brand for the tour without LaTocha’s approval or discussion of financial terms.

The letter also implicates Mona Scott Young, alleging that she was well aware of the trademark situation and intentionally chose to interfere with LaTocha’s rights. Given Scott Young’s past involvement as Xscape’s management, LaTocha feels that the oversight was deliberate.

LaTocha’s attorney has demanded that Mona Scott Young/Monami Entertainment and Live Nation contact them within five days to secure the proper licensing for the use of the Xscape trademark.

The trademark was secured by LaTocha and her sister Tameka Scott during a period when Kandi Burruss was not planning to rejoin the group. Throughout the drama, LaTocha has maintained that her intention was never to leave Xscape permanently but rather to take a break to pursue other interests.

In addition to the legal action against Mona Scott Young and Monami Entertainment, LaTocha has also sent a similar letter to Live Nation regarding the use of the Xscape trademark at the Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas.

Powerhouse singer/songwriter LaTocha from the multi-platinum selling group Xscape releases her music video for her latest single “Afraid,” out today. The video showcases a vulnerable LaTocha in rare form as she calls out for God to help her in her most dire time of need.

The self-directed visual (co-directed by JMo Horton & Rich Laru) begins with LaTocha returning home from a night out, wearing what has now become known as the “infamous” green dress. As LaTocha enters her home on an incredible high, her spirit is instantly deflated as she begins to receive an overload of notifications with the headline “LaTocha Scott sends Xscape into a fashion frenzy,” followed by another that proclaims her husband has a secret love child on the way.

“I’m afraid to trust again, I’ve been lost so pull me in, I still need you, so don’t move, ‘cuz I can’t live this life by myself,” LaTocha professes in the chorus.

She is seen almost in a state of spiritual surrender, questioning why God has put her through so much and how she is going to make it out alive. As LaTocha sings, her frustration and pain is palpable, and her words take on a new level of meaning. She pleads with God to help her through her most difficult time – to provide strength, courage and resilience.

For weeks Xscape singer LaTocha Scott has been swamped on social media by allegations that she stole money from her sister, Tamika Scott. Tamika tearfully revealed during an episode of their reality TV show ‘SWV & Xscape : Queens of R&B’
In a new interview LaTocha claims Tamika never mentioned any missing money before she said it on the show and that she stopped speaking to LaTocha after the cameras stopped rolling.
Latocha says she’s called, reached out and sent text messages and never heard about these allegations from 10 years ago.

LaTocha spoke with Cocktails with Queens and shared that the alleged incident happened over ten years ago and she knew nothing about it. She also insisted that she absolutely did not take Tamika’s money, but would gladly give $30k to have her sister back.
