      *The group Baha Men, best known for their hit “Who Let the Dogs Out,” are suing their management company for holding out on thousands of dollars owed to them for an album they were producing and ruining their reputation within the music industry.

      According to TMZ, the group filed the $500,000 lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Activate Entertainment. They claim the company never paid them the promised thousands of dollars to cover production costs for an album, which caused the group to spend their own money for expenses. According to the lawsuit, "This led to overdrawn accounts," which in turn led to rubber checks.

      Also in the lawsuit, the Baha Men say they "did not receive the additional $180,000 that was owed to them," and lead singer, Isaiah Taylor lost "his home to the bank for lack of funding."     

      The band also says they were unable to pay their production crew, which "severely damaged the reputations of the Baha Men group members within the tight knit music community."
