Lil Wayne Is Suing Producer Jim Jonsin For, “I Feel Like Dying”
Rapper Lil Wayne is suing the producer of a song he performed that allegedly sampled another singer’s work without permission. A lawsuit filed last year against Lil Wayne accuses him of copyright infringement, saying he failed to secure permission to sample folk singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel’s song “Once” on his track “I Feel Like Dying.” A lawsuit filed last week by the rapper’s lawyers says Rebel Rock Productions Inc., of Coconut Creek, Fla., produced “I Feel Like Dying” and was responsible for obtaining any necessary licensing agreements.

Lil Wayne was sued for the track so to cover his ass he has to sue the company that produced the beat.

Good move by Weezy. I don’t know if it was the producers fault the song was leaked but it ain’t Weezy’s fault the sample wasn’t cleared, he just rapped on it.

Rightfully so, The producer of that track dropped the ball on that one so why should the artist be at fault for somethin he’s not really responsible for… That was a hot track tho, killa beat…but i would have sued the company too for not doin their job.
