50 Cent Sued Over "In Da Club" Lyrics

So you thought Jay-Z was the only rapper that bites bacon-sized rhymes from artists before him. Well, it turns out your favorite rapper’s least favorite rapper 50 Cent borrowed the “Go go go shorty” part of “In Da Club” from the nastiest where-they-be-at group, 2 Live Crew. Seriously, Uncle Luke needs to Get A day Job or Die Tryin’ instead of striving to retire on 50’s G-Unit cake.

Edit: Thanks to the anonymous commenter below. I’ve been rightly informed that it wasn’t Luke who actually filed the copyright infringement lawsuit. In fact, it was his ‘dubious’ lawyer Joseph Weinberger. Uncle Luke wants no parts of the case, since the same lawyer was partly responsible for the rapper’s bankruptcy in the firtst place. Mr. Attorney needs to get a day job or die tryin’.

Luke isn’t suing, the lawyer who own the rights to 2 Live Crew is. Luke said he has nothing to do with this and thinks the lawyer is a crook.
