John Oates<\/strong> is sharing his side of the story over his legal battle with longtime creative partner Daryl Hall<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, Hall filed a lawsuit against Oates alleging Oates attempted to sell his share of their jointly owned company, Whole Oats Enterprises, without Hall’s permission.<\/span><\/p>\n

During an interview with Michael Strahan<\/strong>, which was aired on <\/span>Good Morning America<\/span><\/em>, Oates explained the reason why he\u00a0wanted to sell.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When this whole situation got mired in legality and really complex legal wranglings, I got frustrated,” he said. “And I said, ‘You know what? Daryl has always wanted to be his own man.’ I said, ‘I’m gonna give him the opportunity to do that. If I sell my half, he can either, you know, he can do what he wants.'”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hall added he \u201cwasn\u2019t happy\u201d and decided it was time for him to \u201cstep aside,\u201d sharing, \u201cIt’s not that big a deal. But Daryl didn’t like the idea that I would sell to a certain third party.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reflecting on their partnership, Oates shared he and Hall had not worked together creatively in over 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The only thing we did together was play concerts where we just went out there and trotted out the hits,” he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Strahan inquired if Hall & Oates<\/strong>\u00a0would ever perform together again, Oates answered, “Not from my point of view, but you need to ask Daryl how he feels about it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite their differences and the legal trouble, Oates said he still loves Hall like a brother.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his message to Hall, Oates said, “I love you like a brother, if I’m talking to him directly, but you know what? Brothers have disagreements, families grow apart \u2026 I would say, I wish him the best. I hope that he has everything he wants in life.”<\/span><\/p>\n

ABC News has reached out to Hall for comment but has yet to hear back.<\/span><\/p>\n
