Teletubby 150,645 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Nicki Minaj is being sued for copyright infringement for her 2014 song “I Lied” as another musician is accusing her of having “directly copied” his beat. Julis Johnson filed the complaint Monday in California, claiming that Minaj and producer Mike Will Made It’s ballad sounds eerily similar to his song “onmysleeve.” Johnson claims his song was published on YouTube in 2011 — three years before “I Lied” was included on Minaj’s album “The Pinkprint.” Johnson says his beat was included on a hard drive that was taken from a studio session without his consent in 2013 when he attended the Art Institute of Atlanta. Johnson claims that “associates” or “affiliates” of Minaj and Mike Will also had access to the institute’s recording space around that time and allegedly got their hands on his hard drive. However, a source claiming to be close to Minaj told TMZ that the “Super Bass” rapper had nothing to do with selecting the beat. Producers Ester Renay Dean and Skooly, as well as Universal Music Group and other record labels, are also named as defendants in the suit. Johnson wants Minaj’s and Mike Will’s profits they earned from the song, as well as for a judge to order them to stop using it — or at least credit him on “I Lied” and the album. source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
