Lil' Wayne Sued Over Rolling Stones Song

The "Fireman" Lil' Whoopie Goldberg, I Mean, Lil' Wayne Has Been Sued By A Music Publishing Company That Owns The Rights Of The Rolling Stones Song "Playing With Fire".

According To UK Reuters:

Abkco Music Inc accused Lil Wayne, his artistic collaborators and his record company, a unit of Universal Music Group, of copyright infringement and unfair competition.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan seeks unspecified damages.

Lil Wayne's "Playing with Fire" is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way, Abkco said in its lawsuit.

In one example, the lawsuit said a lyric from the Stones song is "But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire," and the Lil Wayne version has the line, "But you can't blame me if I set this stage on fire."

Never Really Was A Fan Of The Song Or Let Alone The Artist Himself, Personally, But The Nigga Did His Numbers Even If Universal Scooped 55% Of The Albums Themselves Up.
