“A declaration of parties’ foregoing rights under the EMI Contract and Extensions is necessary and appropriate at this time so that Plaintiffs and Defendants can ascertain their rights and obligations to one another and void further disputes.”

A representative for Roc-A-Fella Records or EMI did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. A representative for Jay-Z did also did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

TMZ first reported the news of the lawsuit.

West and Jay-Z seemingly drifted apart around 2014 when Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé did not attend West and Kim Kardashian‘s wedding.

During an October 2016 concert, Kanye went on a rant about Jay and the fact that their daughters North and Blue Ivy, respectively, still haven’t had a playdate. “Our kids ain’t never even played together,” he said after addressing the possibility of a future Watch the Throne 2 album, which for the record, he says, won’t happen because of “TIDAL, Apple bulls—.”

Kanye also addressed his wife Kim’s horrific Paris robbery and Jay and Bey’s lack of reaching out during the difficult time. “Don’t call me, after the robbery, and say ‘how you feelin?’ ” Kanye vented to his concertgoers. “You wanna know how I’m feelin’? Come by the house.”

The pair’s rocky relationship hit its peak when Jay called out Kanye’s erratic behavior on “Kill JAY-Z,” a track off his 2017 studio album, 4:44:

“I know people backstab you, I feel bad too / But this ‘f— everybody’ attitude ain’t natural / But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe / But you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinkin’ / He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f— was he thinkin’?/ ‘F—in’ wrong with everybody?’ is what you sayin’ / But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane.”

JAY-Z chatted with Rap Radar hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller in August 2017 to discuss his song “Kill Jay Z.” The single off his latest album, 4:44, in which he sent a few jabs Kanye’s way. “It’s not even about a Kanye diss. It’s not a diss, I’m talking to myself the whole time,” the rapper said.
