Jay-Z may have to change his song’s title to “88 Problems” since he’s being sued for $88 million dollars! What did he do??? He allegedly stole someone’s whisper!
New York rapper, Mitchell Rose, is suing Jay amidst claims that Jigga stole his “whisper rapping” style. Apparently, he gave Jay a “CD containing his lyrics on May 13, 2001, during a Felix Trinidad fight at Madison Square Garden.” At least the lawsuit becomes more credible at this point since Rose alleges that Jay “stole lyrics which resulted in copyright infringement by using selected parts of material.”
The money is to compensate Rose for “loss opportunity and punitive damages for mental distress.” Uh huh…
I’m sorry but I think this lawsuit is weak. We’ll see what the judge has to say. Maybe I’m missing something…
