Philips and Loeffler are seeing against each other because they want to control the boys’s management over Atlantic Records, which ties to the direct control the management over the band and the boys’s solo careers overall. According to the band members of Why Don’t We, they are now refusing to sign a recording agreement with the record company because they don’t want Loeffler to be reinstated as their sole manager. The boys want Philips to be reinstated as their sole manager, so that they can be free from the direct control from their own management.
