Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Cash Money Records are involved in yet another legal battle over copyright claims.
Thomas Marasciullo is suing the rappers for copyright infringement, claiming he created some "Italian-styled spoken word recordings" for them in 2006, but did not give the pair permission to use them.
Marasciullo alleges the recordings were used on a number of songs on the rappers' joint album Like Father, Like Son as well as on some tracks on Birdman's CD 5 (Star) Stunna.
Marasciullo discovered his work had been used when his daughter discovered his "Respect" while trying buy a ring-tone version of the Aretha Franklin classic by the same name, the lawsuit said.
His son also became entangled in the case when he was fired from a recording engineer job at Cash Money Records after the father started demanding payment.
In recent years, Lil Wayne, Birdman, & Cash Money Records have been sued for copyright infringement over four times.
