50 Cent might want to hold on to his dollars.

The rapper and Dr. Dre are being sued by a music producer, TMZ is reporting.

Brandon "Dirty Bird" Parrott wants Fiddy (born Curtis Jackson III) and Dre to fork over cash from their hit single, "P.I.M.P."

Parrott was told in 2003 that Dre's label, Aftermath used his track "BAMBA" in the hit song, featuring Snoop Dogg and appearing on Fiddy's debut album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."

The only problem, according to a producer, is that they forgot to tell him it was Parrot's track before the final edits so he wasn't credited.

Aftermath Records later settled with Parrott for an undisclosed amount of cash.

But now it seems that Dre's producer was lying.

TMZ said that "he's recently heard interviews where it's now clear to him it was no mistake" and that "Fiddy and Aftermath took advantage of him," so Parrott has decided to take them to court.

50 Cent has had his fair share of legal woes.

Last July, the rapper filed for bankruptcy — around the same time a Manhattan jury had awarded Lastonia Leviston $7 million after he released a sex tape of her without consent.

Is there a statute of limitations on this?

Why the fukk didnt he sue a long time ago then lol

nikkas be remembering when they got jerked when they broke already :mjlol:
Sometimes music attorneys wait until a song has finished making money to sue. I remember reading that Tom Kline would do that. there wouldn't be as much money to make if he sued the day or year it dropped. I'm probably missing something but I'll try to find the quote later.

No. The reason why people wAit so long to sue is because they wait until the song makes as much money as possible, thus giving them a bigger pay day

You sue right away when the song comes out, yea you'll win but not as much

chess not checkers

There's a reason the Marvin Gaye estate waited with that Robin thicke song.


Many other examples but I'm too lazy to go on

No . . unless the copyright expires . . which wouldn't happen within his lifetime
