Lil Loyalties, Lotta Suing

 We are used to seeing musical artists getting jilted out of the money earned from selling their music.  We know that free downloads can rarely be stopped and continue to rob the artists of their full loyalties.  What we rarely hear of is a producer of music getting jilted, but in this case, it seems that Lil Wayne has not paid up.

In an article regarding this hot story, Gil Kaufman the writer of MTV article stated that “It’s almost given.  An artist scores a major hit that sells millions of records and a short time is sued by someone either claiming he or she wrote the song or worked on it and didn’t get a fair slice of the pie.”  It is not surprising that when money is made, that there are plenty of people ready to claim it.  Just like Facebook.  Facebook “Owner” Mark Zuckerberg has already experienced that several times over, being sued by the twin set of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss for supposedly stealing their idea.  Then he was sued by his business partner as we all watched in the Movie “The Social Network.”  On June 30, 2010, Paul Ceglia, the owner of a wood pellet fuel company tried to claim 84% ownership of the company. 

As for Lil Wayne, on March 31, 2011 a lawsuit was filed against him - for 20 million by Darius Harrison the CO-producer of Lil Wayne’s music, for not being given enough loyalties for the song “Lollipop”. Darius Harrison has claimed that he has help produced tones of Lil Wayne’s greatest hits as well but he has not received a good cut of the money.  He has tried to sue him in the past for the same reason in 2008 on a few songs one was called “Mrs. Officer” for the exact same reason.  At this time, Lil Wayne keeps recording his music and the lawsuit is still undecided.
