Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul Files $20 Million Copyright Lawsuit Against Travis Scott

Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul claims that parts of Travis Scott’s song “No Bystanders” are nearly identical to a song he wrote, and now, he’s taking legal action.

According to TMZ, Paul filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Travis Scott for similarities in “cadence and sound” between “No Bystanders” and Three 6 Mafia’s 1997, “Tear Da Club Up,” which was co-written by Paul. 

In official court documents obtained by the publication, DJ Paul says the hook to his track says “Tear da club up, tear da club up” while Travis’ track goes “F*** da club up. F*** da club up.” 

In addition, Paul mentioned Scott’s Grammy performance of “No Bystanders,” from earlier this year. Paul said that the rendition of the song that Scott performed used Paul’s exact hook, word for word.

“No Bystanders” is a track off of Scott’s highly successful album “Astroworld,” which debuted at #1 on Billboard. DJ Paul wants the track pulled from the album, and is seeking $20 million in damages from profits he believes the song earned.

However, sources close to the situation say that DJ Paul and Travis Scott had a conversation on Tuesday and are working towards a resolution. No other members of Three 6 Mafia are named in the lawsuit at this time.

Travis Scott Presented With Key To Houston;  Mayor Announces Plans For An Amusement Park Thanks To Scott

Travis Scott brought the second leg of his ”Astroworld” Tour to his hometown of Houston, Texas on Wednesday and Houston showed love back. 

Houston Mayor, Sylvester Turner, came to the stage right before the end of the show to make two major announcements. 

Turner presented Scott with a key to the city for his amazing year and his many contributions to H-Town, “We owe so much to this guy for keeping Houston on the map.”

The 26-year-old shared a smile, but there was even more good news on the way, as Scott’s dreams of bringing back the original Astroworld would soon be a reality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“With ‘Astroworld’ man, and those of us that remember Astroworld, and because of him, we’re gonna bring another amusement theme park back to the city,” Turner declared, much to the delight of the capacity Houston crowd. “This city loves you,” and Houston fans cheered in agreement. 

It was a very proud moment for the rapper. If you recall, Scott forecasted plans to revive his childhood theme park on Astroworld opener “Stargazing.” “’99 took AstroWorld, it had to relocate/ Told the dogs I’d bring it back, it was a seal of faith,” Scott prophesied.
