Just a week after Usher’s stepson was declared brain dead from a tragic jet-skiing accident, the popular R&B artist is now being sued.  A Florida DJ, Aubrey Davis, better known as DJ Mixx, has filed a lawsuit claiming he created the music behind one of Usher’s hit singles “Hey Daddy.”  TMZ has the story:

A DJ in Florida says Usher hijacked one of his tunes, laid down some lyrics, and put it on his album … all without his permission, this according to a new lawsuit.

Aubrey Davis — known as DJ Mixx — filed a federal lawsuit in FL this week, claiming back in 2008 he created a musical composition titled “Let’s Go.”

DJ Mixx says he shopped the tune around looking for songwriters to add lyrics to the track, but nothing really panned out.
