Weezy is being sued once again:
Lil Wayne is being sued over allegations he’s stolen parts of a song by The Rolling Stones.
Abcko Music Inc alleges that Weezy, his producers and label Universal have plagiarised the Stones’ song Play with Fire- which they own the rights to- on his song Playin’ With Fire. The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan and claims the Wayne track- from his album Tha Carter III- is clearly copied from the Stones track.
The company- which is seeking unspecified damages- also says the lyric “But don’t play with me/ ’cause you’re playing with fire,” is obviously changed by the rapper to “But you can’t blame me/ if I set this stage on fire.” Lil Wayne was this week knocked off the US album chart number one by Nas but Tha Carter III is still likely to be one of the biggest selling LPs of 2008.
This lil nicca stay getting sued…the Bentley, the jewelry, he even was sued for making it rain on hoes. SMH. This suit seems rather legitimate, but don’t rappers “borrow” material on the regular?
Read some more lawsuit news involved Brooklyn’s Don Diva and plastic surgery’s posterchild right now..
Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown are used having the book thrown at ‘em — just not actually writing them. The two felonius rappers just got sued by Simon & Schuster, the publishing house, for failing to deliver on books they were paid to write. And it’s not like they didn’t have the time to write ‘em — both spent long stints in prison; Kim for perjury, Foxy for assault. S&S wants their money back — over $100K in total — with interest. Neither rapper’s lawyer could be immediately reached.
Aww, Foxy can’t catch no breaks. Hopefully she won’t be expecting Jigga to dig her out of this hole as well…
