Selena, dubbed "the Queen of Tejano," was just 23 years old
when Yolanda Saldivar, the president of her fan club, shot and
killed her at a Days Inn motel on March 31, 1995.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, accuses UMG
Recordings, a subsidiary of Vivendi's Universal Music Group, of
breach of contract and violating various royalty agreements that
took effect before the death of the Mexican-American singer
"Despite enjoying the continued posthumous commercial success of
Selena's music, UMG has, contrary to its obligations under the
Recording Agreements, consistently failed to properly account to
and pay Plaintiffs under the agreed-upon royalty structure," the
complaint says.
Andy Fixmer, a spokesman for Universal Music Group, said the
company had no comment.
