Shenseea has broken her silence over a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against her by Interscope Records over the use of elements from Denise Belfon and Pupa Nas-T's Work (1999) in her new collaboration Megan Thee Stallion Lick.In a quick tweet and cancellation Saturday morning, the Jamaican singer suggested that reports for the $ 10 million case should not be trusted, after one fan pointed out the irony of the complaint, which was submitted two months after some Caribbean fans. he questioned whether Lick was properly cleansed.
“What can I get? You are still a fool to believe anything and nothing bro, "he wrote, responding to a Twitter user, who said," Shenseea used IG and accused you of being a fool for even asking about permission and looking at what is happening to him now. ”
The Singer Can No Longer Follow In Another Tweet: "We Will Choose a Positive This Morning."
Pupa Nas-T, whose real name is Anastas Theodore Hackett, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New York on March 4, 2022. According to the documents, which were obtained on our blog, Nas- T claims that Shenseea and his co-defendants released Lick without his consent and without proper authorization. The case cites Shenseea, whose real name is Chinsea Linda Lee, Interscope Records, UK-based Atal Music Limited and Alexandre Escolier as defendants.
When investigated on Friday, Nas-T confirmed that the case had been filed on his behalf by his company Traveling Man Productions, LLC.According to the Jamaica Observer, Geron Woodruffe, a member of Denise Belfon's management team, also confirmed the case and said that "although things may be right between Shenseea and her client, Denise Belfon, there are other parties involved in the work single. . ”
In January, after questions from his Caribbean fans and critics about whether the song was canceled, the slightly annoyed Shenseea took to his Instagram Live page and dismissed the questions in a very humiliating way.
She never said anything of that In the Interview ! She never said that
— Chino James (@chinothagemini) March 20, 2022"This is why some Americans do not share # $ k with the people of the Caribbean, you will be acting stupid like sh-t, and that is the truth. Some of you are dumb like sh-t. Why send us a sample from someone else's song done in 2006 or 5, and we should not delete the song? What does it mean anyway? " the singer demanded.
"Are you going to try to say I stole someone's song? Stop arguing with me, stop playing me, because that's so stupid, and then Megan is in the song, why can we be prosecuted?"
"That will be clear and not something that bothers me, it's because I know some people will run away with this story, and I'm not ready to do that, because I'll start cleaning up the mess from the beginning. I'm back as wide as you can see, very wide," he added.
Several Caribbean users have now weighed in, apparently the last laugh, after the news of the case on Friday.
nunya.bee19 said, "How did Shenseea keep the Jamaican people when we asked him if he had permission to use the song, of course we love them?"
"Shenseea was online calling the Caribbean people stupid and" stupid as dung "because they were showing samples and asking if it had been removed. He assured everyone that it was taken care of.has it happened?
, ”Wrote Caressa.
Another, thick.ney said, "I knew it was coming."
_.junglist got all the fun, quoting, "Lmao everyone in the Caribbean knows this would happen," with _ruby.ray wondering, "Damn, imagine being charged with this jungle donkey song, never learn GET THE DESCRIPTION FIRST."
Smitten_ivo reminded Shenseeans' supporters that "many people laughed because when he was in direct contact with people and asked if he had obtained a permit, he called the Jamaicans stupid and said it had been removed, the whole thing is strange."
Another pointed out, "All this trouble with a song that wasn't even good."
Femalerapgame advised with humor, "put yuh back in it and pay them Shenseea," suggesting a line from the song.A Trinidad man wrote, "We Trinis knew that it would come."
Lick, which did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, was released by Rich Immigrants and Interscope Records on January 21. It was co-produced by Murda Beatz of Canada, L'Étranger and BoogzDaBeast.
The highlighted writers are Anastas Hackett and Harkness Taitt (two co-authors of Work), Shenseea, Megan, Jahmal Gwin, Jeremy McIntyre, Lance Shipp, Nathalia Marshall, Rachael Kennedy, Romika Faniel, Shane Lindstrom, and Tobias Wincorn.
