Rapper Lil Wayne is facing legal action over accusations he has copied The Rolling Stones in one of his songs.
According to reports Lil Wayne whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, has released an altered version of a Rolling Stones tune without the proper permissions. The legendary rockers 1965 hit “Play With Fire” is the track in question, Lil Wayne has cleverly named his track “playing with fire”. See what he did there?
Musical publishing company Abkco Music Inc has accused the rapper and his record company – a unit of Universal Music Group – of copyright infringement and unfair competition and are reportedly seeking damages.
Bosses at Abkco Music Inc have branded the track by Lil Wayne as an “explicit, sexist and offensive” version of the tune, according to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.com.
