The retort is the latest chapter in the legal battle between Jive and
the multiplatinum band. Earlier, attorneys for Backstreet Boys sent
a letter to Jive Records founder Clive Calder, claiming the label
was in breach of contract.
Backstreet Boys are understood to be upset by the recent
announcement that fellow boy-band 'N Sync will be joining them
on the Jive roster, which is also home to Britney Spears. The Boys
reportedly left their management company last year in part because
their managers represented 'N Sync as well.

Backstreet Boys are still signed to Jive,
according to a label spokesperson.
Responding to yesterday's Billboard
Online story, in which attorneys for
Backstreet Boys' contend that the act is
no longer on the imprint, the
spokesperson says, "Backstreet Boys are
signed to a long-term, exclusive recording agreement with Jive
Records."
