Lil Wayne filed a new lawsuit against a producer who used a sample for a song without permission from the original artist.
According to the suit, which was filed last week, Lil Wayne’s lawyers claim Coconut Creek, Florida-based Rebel Rock Productions Inc. produced the rapper’s song “I Feel Like Dying” and was responsible for obtaining any necessary licensing agreements.
The new lawsuit comes months after a suit was filed against Lil Wayne last year.
In that suit, the rapper was accused of copyright infringement as it claimed the entertainer did not garner permission to sample Karma-Ann Swanepoel’s folk song, “Once,” on “I Feel Like Dying.”
Although “I Feel Like Dying” was not featured on Lil Wayne’s hit album, Tha Carter III, an attorney for the song’s publisher, Urband & Lazar, maintained that the song was used to promote the album.
