According to the suit, Loud and Live claims that Maestro had signed a deal promising to deliver the concert over a stream that could handle over 100,000 viewers.
The concert took place in April 2021, but when viewers tuned in online, most were greeted by a blank screen.
Anthony went on social media to apologize for the concert’s failure.
