SUED!!! MARY J BLIGE AND JAY Z SUED FOR STEALING SONGS!!!


 







December 23, 2008. It seems like every other day a popular artist is sued for stealing material. Well MediTakeOut.com just caught wind that Jay Z and Mary J Blige are being sued in federal court for just that.

Here's how TMZ is reporting it:
Jermaine Jumpp and Michael C. Adams claim in a federal lawsuit they handed a "compact disk" to the "office" of megaproducer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins with the song "On My Grind."

Then, not-so-magically, four years later, Mary J. recorded "Enough Cryin'" -- produced by Darkchild -- and the guys say it sounded awfully familiar.

It is unclear from the lawsuit what Jay-Z's roll was in all this.

Jay ... did you pull a BEYONCE????

    Jay would never ever pull a Beyonce.
    Beyonce is way to unorginall and thats why she has to copy other people.

    Mary is still the Queen of RnB and HOVA is still the King of RAP!

    so let me get this right? They're being sued because somebody gave a song to someone that supposedly knows DarkChild? Shouldn't Dark Child be sued? Rich people should start suing everyday people for no reason like we do them. Just take them to court and destroy their finances.

    People are always trying to "hand" artists and record execs these demo tapes and wondering why most times they don't accept them. Even if they don't even listen to the thing, just by taking it sets them up for a lawsuit.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED W/ THE DESIREE SONG. BUT THAT WAS FISHY SINCE SHE WAS ONLY ASKING FOR $10K - WHICH BEY HAD IN HER BACK POCKET. LMAO

    As a former talent agent for one of the top Talent Agencies in the US, I recall receiving many tapes from unknown persons who were interested in getting their material heard. It was the responsibilty of our office to RETURN said tapes stamped "RETURN TO SENDER...UNSOLICITED MATERIAL".

    It is unwise to 'give' or 'send' any of your work to anyone (unless you have copywritten the work) freely. It can be taken and used at will. It is best to always make contact with someone first, get their approval and then send your work. That way you have a name that you can attach the materal to. This is a game that has been played since the beginning of time - sending your songs to someone and a few years later hearing it. Not wise. Not sure what the details are on this story, but I'll bet you if it's true - a settlement will be reached. And it will take a long time to prove.

    It not the first time he done this...He did it with Bonnie and Clyde. Toni Braxton gave J her tape of "My boyfriend" for review and he stole it and made Bonnie and Clyde. This record business is a dirty one. Too many cut throats.

    I post & move on. unless you R an Idiot

    misssixty
    1st of all MJB's career started with doing covers! so I dont know why she's being considered a standard of originality?! If Jays role is unknown than how is he being sued? Lastly if the track was received by Darkchild then why is his name not on the suit?
     

    THEBANKER
    Not the first time! Dark Child is a suspect biter!
