French Montana Hit With $5M Lawsuit Stealing Hit SongCelebNMusic247.com reports that French Montana might have to drop a bag for one of his biggest hits to date since its being alleged that he stole the song “Ain’t Worried About Nothing.”

According to the lawsuit, the song features his French Montana and his lyrics, but everything else about it was created by Hotwire the Producer (Eddie Lee Richardson).

Hotwire claims French stole a song he’d uploaded the year before ‘Ain’t Worried’ was released.

He also claims his track, “*Hood* Pushin’ Weight,” hit SoundClick in 2012 as an instrumental with a “unique and artistic array of digital sounds and rhythms.”

Eddie also points out that the track was “tagged” with a single and repeating vocal … “Hotwire.”

Hotwire says, “Ain’t Worried About Nothin” that came out in April 2013 is an exact duplicate of the music he created and produced just with lyrics and vocals on top of it.

Eddie Lee Richardson wants his money so he is suing French for $5 million.

In early March Montana was also involved in a lawsuit for Fat Joe’s 2016 hit with Remy Ma, “All the Way Up.” A Florida artist filed a federal suit in New York alleging that his own “unfinished version” of the song, which also features French, is “identical” to Fat Joe’s hit song.
