Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been slapped with a federal lawsuit by a Miami rapper who is accusing him of ripping off his work.
According to The Blast, a Miami rapper named Yung Gordon is suing Tekashi, Tay Keith, and Create Music Group for copyright infringement.
Yung Gordon’s suit claims a company named Take Money Promotions contacted him on Instagram, looking for radio drops to be used in its programming.
Yung Gordon explained that he had previously provided Take Money with radio drops and described that “The Drop consists of nine seconds of music, written and performed by the Plaintiff, with the following lyrics: “Y’all already know, it be the boy Yung Gordon / You rockin’ with Take Money Promotions / Ay Take Money Promotions / Give ’em that new sh-t, no fool sh- t/ Oh Yeah, let’s go.”
The rapper believes that Take Money had a relationship with Tekashi 6ix9ine and shared the drop with him.
The suit states, Tekashi’s version of “Stoopid” opens with a recording of the Drop originally written and performed by the Plaintiff. (While the Drop has been removed from the “Stoopid” track that is currently available on Spotify, it is believed to still be available on all other versions of “Stoopid” that are currently streaming or available for sale.)”
