by Staff Editor
Various artists have recently hit Three 6 Mafia with a ton of copyright infringement claims. These artist say that they collaborated with Juicy J and DJ Paul to help write, produce, and record music for the group. They also say they haven’t been rightfully paid for their work.
Along with this, DJ Paul is now looking at another lawsuit for copyright infringement. According to TMZ, on Wednesday (March 4), DJ Paul and Trippie Redd were both hit with the lawsuit.
TMZ reports that Reginald Boyland of On The Strength Records stated that Trippie Redd’s track “Death” samples DJ Paul’s 1997 single “Hit a Muthaf*cka.” In 2015 DJ Paul ended a previous lawsuit with Boyland, which gave Boyland the rights to “Hit a Muthf*cka.” Boyland sued DJ Paul because the track sampled his song “Pimps In The House,” according to the same source.
Boyland is taking DJ Paul to court since he helped produced Trippie’s “Death” single and because neither one was given permission to use the sample in the song. Boyland is seeking a portion of the profits. Trippie Redd has not made any comments on the lawsuit yet.
