Singer kicked us out after recording an album and I think he's gonna steal our credits
The singer gathered musicians and created the band in november 2025, we started out as a cover band, then started making our own songs. He was the main composer, of the 7 songs we recorded, only 1 of them was by our drummer, the singer created the songs at home and brought us the chords progression, lyrics and the song's structure, and we created our parts on top of that.
Our first album was recorded from april to july, we split the costs equally (4 members, 25% each), now the producer is mixing the album. Before our last recording session, me (bassist) and the singer had a disagreement, and we had been bickering for some time now, then he gathered with the other members and kicked me out (drummer was in favor and the guitarrist was against it). It was a shock at first but it's okay now, it was bound to happen sometime. Then we agreed I was gonna record the bass for the last song, I was gonna rennounce my rights to any monetary gains (my choice, as I believe there won't be any significant gains) and that I could use the album as portfolio on my socials.
Then, a month later, the guitarrist texts me, says he fought with the singer (I don't know exactly why), and that the singer kicked him out as well, and it looks like things were more heated with his departure, the singer even blocked him. The guitarrist also said that the singer was gonna give the credits for my parts to the new bassist, and the guitarrist is worried that the singer is gonna take the credits for his parts. The singer also plays rhythm guitar, but he only recorded 1 guitar part on the entire album, 95% of it was the main guitarrist.
So I don't know what to do now, or if I should do something at all. Maybe the producer will knock some sense into the singer when it comes the time to fill out the credits, maybe the guitarrist will talk to the drummer and he can convince the singer, and even if they don't give me credit, I can still put it in my ig bio, but I would like to see my name on spotify and others platforms.
Idk if it's relevant, but me and the guitarrist have videos of ourselves recording our parts for every song of the album.
Update: A few hours after I posted this, the singer reached out to me and asked about the credits and royalties. In Brazil, musicians who are registered as performers on a recording are allocated 16.6% of the neighboring-rights share of the phonogram, since I know this won't make any money, I told him to leave me out of it. However, I still want to be credited as the bass player, so I asked him to include my name in the credits when he submits the songs to the distributor, it was a friendly conversation and he was fine with my decision.
I think this was the best outcome possible, now I just hope he keeps his word, and even if he doesn't, your comments helped me realize the credits on spotify and others don't matter much for such a small project, and it's not worth the headache, thank you all
