TI, who is currently in a halfway house after doing time for weapons possession, is being sued for copyright infringement. Rapper Motoe Blizzid is claiming that the legally troubled rapper used part of his 2004 song ‘Reverence’ in the TI hit track ‘What You Know’. Blizzid is alleging that the 2006 single has the “same rate of harmonic range” and that they have “nearly identical instrumental melodic lines in terms of pitch, shape and rhythm”. He is seeking damages and profits received from ‘What You Know’. While there are a lot of songs that sound alike, from what Blizzid is alleging, it seems like TI might have to pay up.
