Birdman is a Thief

Birdman is a Thief

Another year yet it still seems that it’s going to be filled with lawsuits for the hip hop industry. Rapper Birdman is the most recent one being sued. He just got slapped with a lawsuit for allegedly taking other artists’ songs without paying a red cent for them.

The lawsuit was filed in New Orleans and it alleges that Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams owes several music publishers an unspecified amount of money for using copyrighted songs without permission. However, Birdman and his brother Ronald, founders of Cash Money Records, have been paid for their work. Let’s hope Birdman doesn’t turn chicken yellow and run.
