Frank Ocean facing yet another lawsuit, singer being sued by Chipotle over ad campaign deal

Singer Frank Ocean has caught himself in yet another lawsuit and this time it's with popular Mexican food chain Chipotle.

The Hollywood Reporter says the eatery is suing Ocean for allegedly reneging on a contract for a song for an ad campaign.

Chipotle filed the suit Friday (March 7) in Los Angeles. In it, Chipotle claims Ocean was enlisted for his vocals on an advertisement against industrial farming. Ocean was to record a cover of Willy Wonka's "Pure Imagination." The recording was to be used to accompany an animated video by the food chain.

Chipotle claims to have discussed the intent on the ad with Ocean. They also claim that Ocean knew that it was being funded by the company.

The eatery says they shared an unfinished video of the animation with the singer and paid him $212,500, which was the first half of his agreed compensation, in July 2013.

Chipotle says Ocean then backed out of the deal on his deadline in August.

The restaurant chain also attached a letter received from Ocean's legal team to their lawsuit documents.

One part of the letter reads:

"When Frank was asked to participate in this project, Chipotle's representatives told him that the thrust of the campaign was to promote responsible farming. There was no Chipotle reference or logo in the initial presentation, and Chipotle told Frank that was an intentional element of the campaign. Frank was also promised that he'd have the right to approve the master and all advertising."

Chipotle assured that the terms of the deal were clearly explained to Ocean and they are now suing him for the $212,500 he was paid, along with additional damages.

Chipotle decided to replace Frank Ocean with Fiona Apple for the ad.
