Lil Wayne and Birdman’s label Cash Money Records is in the hot seat over allegations it illegally used a sample from a 70s song in one of Bow Wow‘s recent tracks.

The septuagenarian behind the lawsuit is Robert Poindexter from the 70s band The Persuaders.

Poindexter claims Cash Money sampled his band’s song “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” and illegally lifted the tune in Bow Wow’s 2010 track “Still Ballin.”

As for “Love Gonna Pack Up (and Walk Out)” — the song was recorded in 1972 and reached the top of the charts and Poindexter says neither Cash Money nor Bow Wow ever obtained permission to sample it.

Poindexter claims he reached out to Cash Money for an answer, and was redirected to Bow Wow’s attorneys, who then directed him back to Cash Money which is why Cash Money’s currently in his crosshairs.

Poindexter wants $600,000 in punitive damages, plus interest. Cash Money has yet to respond to the suit. We reached out to the label for comment. So far, no word back.

It’s not the first time Poindexter’s sued rappers over his music; the producer has already filed suit against 50 Cent and Kanye West over similar song-stealing allegations.

Lawsuit Claims Diddy Had Hidden Cameras In Every Room To Get Blackmail Footage Of Celebrities And Politicians!

A 75-page complaint contains explosive allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, his son Justin Dior, and several others.

Civil rights attorney and legal analyst Areva Martin weighed in on the severity of the accusations, suggesting that the recent raids tied to the case shouldn't come as a shock, given the nature of the claims.

Martin, not affiliated with the case, highlighted the disturbing content of the lawsuit, which includes accusations of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and the drugging of underage girls.
