A.B. Quintanilla has initiated legal action against his sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, and associated entities including Q Productions. According to the filing reported by KXXV News 25, the suit alleges a failure to properly distribute 25% of net profits owed to A.B. under a long-standing family agreement governing the rights to the late singer Selena’s name, likeness, and image. The plaintiff claims that a review of financial records discovered in early 2025 indicated discrepancies in payment distributions. The litigation seeks a comprehensive accounting of revenue, recovery of owed funds, and damages exceeding $1 million, marking a significant dispute within the family's established music business operations.
