Bruno Mars could be heading to court in a dispute with his publisher Bug Music, according to TMZ. Mars, it seems, believes that he has fulfilled his commitments under his previous contract with the up-for-sale independent publisher, and that it failed to take up an option to renew that contact in the renewal period previously agreed. Therefore, he says, he is currently without any commitments to any music publisher.

However, it seems Bug does not agree with the R&B pop boy, and claims that he is still under contact to the company, giving it a cut of any royalties generated by any new songs Mars writes. TMZ reports that Mars has now filed papers with the LA County Superior Court requesting a judge rule on the status of his relationship with the music publishing firm.

Bug is yet to comment.
