Rapper Rick Ross has filed a law suit against the electronic-rap band LMFAO over lyrics the music group used in their 2010 hit “Party Rock Anthem.”
Ross is claiming that the lyrics used in their song, “Everyday I’m Shufflin'” was taken from similar words he used, “Everyday I’m Hustlin,” from the rapper’s song “Hustlin” on his debut album, reports the Huffington Post.
A copy of the lawsuit was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, which says: “The use of ‘Hustlin’ in ‘Party Rock Anthem’ is readily apparent, despite the slight change from ‘Everyday I’m hustlin” … to ‘Everyday I’m shufflin” … and constitutes, inter alia, the creation of an unauthorized derivative work.”
According to THR, Ross is seeking an injunction and maximum statutory damages against the band members Stefan Kendal Gordy (Redfoo) and Skyler Austen Gordy (Sky Blu).
