Lil Wayne Gets Sued

Legal troubles seem to be a part of life for the self professed best rapper alive. First, Lil Wayne was sued back in May for allegedly swiping a song from Karma-Ann Swanepoel. Now, the rapper is facing another suit for allegedly illegally sampling another song for his track “Playing With Fire.”

Abkco Music Inc, the owners of The Rolling Stones track “Play With Fire” claim Wayne released an alternative version of their song without their permission, says TMZ.

The suit, filed yesterday (July 24) in the federal court in Manhattan, further claims Wayne changed the song a bit but it is still recognizable.

Abkco said that they were concerned because Wayne’s version of the song is “explicit, sexist, and offensive.”

They said that they fear that people will think that they approved Wayne’s version.

At press time, Wayne’s camp was refusing to comment on the lawsuit.
