Birdman and Lil Wayne Sued
Lil Wayne's issues with the judicial system are continuing to add up. As he awaits sentencing for that infamous gun charge, he's being hit with a lawsuit for unpaid compensation from an old business associate. Weezy and his daddy, Birdman, are being taken to court for copyright infringement for their work on Like Father/Like Son.
Thomas Marascuillo of Florida claims that his voice was used without permission or pay on tracks from their Like Father, Like Son album and Baby's 5 Star Stunna.
Marascuillo filed a lawsuit Friday against Birdman, Lil Wayne, Cash Money Records and several music outlets seeking payment. According to the lawsuit, Cash Money Records had him “cut some Italian style spoken word recordings” in 2006 for the father and son team's album. He then claims the recordings were used on four tracks from Like Father/Like Son and five tracks from Baby's 5 Star Stunna without compensation.
According to him, he found out his voice was being used without his permission after his daughter discovered the track “Respect” when trying to buy a ringtone. He also claims that his son was fired from his job as a recording engineer at Cash Money after Marascuillo began seeking payment.
