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.

The feminicide Wendel Santos, aged 37, who killed his then-fianc?e, Leidiane Ferro da Silva, aged 43, with several stab wounds, in Peixoto de Azevedo (676 km from Cuiab?), on the afternoon of this Monday (15), had already attempted to kill the woman by hanging in early February this year. Leidiane was a victim of domestic violence and had filed police reports against her attacker. The victim was director of the Garimpeiros Cooperative of Vale do Rio Peixoto. This Monday, at lunchtime, the violent scene was repeated. After a new fight, as the woman decided to end the relationship and asked him to leave her house, the man, who did not accept the end of the relationship, took a knife and stabbed Leidiane in the back. The victim fell to the ground and the attacker continued attacking him. In the kitchen, there was a girl, the attacker's daughter, who ran when she saw her father stabbing the victim. There was also a boy in the property, Leidiane's son, who emerged from another room and tried to prevent the attacks, but was threatened by the man armed with the knife. The attacker even ran after the two minors, but gave up and simulated attempting suicide, all in front of the security camera installed inside the house. "She had been trying to end the relationship with him for some time due to domestic violence. He did not accept the end of the relationship." The criminal has not yet been located. As a fugitive, he published a post on his Facebook page, trying to justify the femicide and insinuating that the victim had betrayed him. || Posted by CZ |
