(CelebNMusic247-News) Lil Wayne And Birdman Sued:

Lil Wayne and Birdman are in hot water!

Above is the new video from Birdman “Shout Out” which feature Gudda Gudda and French Montana and could really use a better beat that the one the using. We love Birdman, but sometime we are scratching our head with this weak lyric music he puts out. And can he talk about some more than clothes, poles, and making money.

Here’s the drop via 4UMF:

Lil Wayne and Birdman’s label Cash Money Records is in the hot seat over allegations it illegally used a sample from a 70s song in one of Bow Wow‘s recent tracks.

The septuagenarian behind the lawsuit is Robert Poindexter from the 70s band The Persuaders.

Poindexter claims Cash Money sampled his band’s song “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” and illegally lifted the tune in Bow Wow’s 2010 track “Still Ballin.”

As for “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” — the song was recorded in 1972 and reached the top of the charts and Poindexter says neither Cash Money nor Bow Wow ever obtained permission to sample it.

Poindexter claims he reached out to Cash Money for an answer, and was redirected to Bow Wow’s attorneys, who then directed him back to Cash Money which is why Cash Money’s currently in his crosshairs.

Poindexter wants $600,000 in punitive damages, plus interest. Cash Money has yet to respond to the suit. We reached out to the label for comment. So far, no word back.

It’s not the first time Poindexter’s sued rappers over his music; the producer has already filed suit against 50 Cent and Kanye West over similar song-stealing allegations.
