Jacquees Sent Cease & Desist Letter for Remixing Ella Mai's Song

[AlainLocke]

Your point is extremely stupid and that cape is tight for this hypocritical broad who made a career off covers & now is mad about somebody covering her.

This...

How you gonna be making American Black music and sue over a cover

Lol the entire genre is built off of covers

How you gonna be coming up off of covers and then sue...

It's most likely her label doing this though

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Why ya'll keep saying this is the smart thing for her to down? The song is doing fine with out him. 4 weeks ago the song was 54 on the Hot 100 then jumped 22 spots to 32, then jumped 9 spots to 23, and now this week has gone up 2 spots to 21. She's got an album coming out in 2 weeks so most likely she's going to release a video and maybe a late night performance somewhere that will boost it some more.

They could have done an official remix in Decemeber or some shyt when the song slows up but not in the middle of it apexing.

Oh nah I’m just saying do the remix because so many people like both. I don’t know the chart position or anything. Thanks though.. I know she’s doing quite well right now.

 

[MikeyC]

fucc this bytch. she's a transplant into the culture like every other not AA making our music. the nerve and audacity.

Sounds like you and that hypocritical harlot @Stacker Pentecost feel some type of way about a British girl making better RnB than most Americans out?

 

[The God Poster]

Mustard is for his artist and Jacquees already said he wasn’t making money off the song

Also, ‘picking on Ella Mai?’

How

You posting just to post

 

[O.T.I.S.]

People playing dumb as fukk acting like it’s cool to jack a song verbatim that a current artist is pushin, interfering with their ability to promote their single. No one in their right mind across any type of art would sand by idly while a peer does this to them.

No, this is not equivalent to rappers who take hot beats and add NEW lyrics

This is not the same as remaking a (old) song that’s not on a current promotional push

This ain’t even the same as doing some little remix of an established artist’s song (ie Ella Mai doing covers of Chris brown songs)

Let new artists build their own shyt before jumping your ass all in their video. Everybody saying how hot Jaquees made it, how about y’all go to bat for the music he has and request dudes actual songs, not his cover of a song that was already hot/gaining momentum.


And lol @ y’all faux militants trying to have an issue with her because she’s from the UK. I can only imagine if this dumbass logic was used back in the day when Sade was starting out. And I sure didn’t hear this when Craig David blew up nor when Mark Morrison’s “return of the Mack” dominated urban radio in 96

Basically this but nikkas like playing stupid and have no idea about art and the thin lines they abide by.




Repped


And idgaf if this is about a UK chick. This is something I have had issues with for awhile. Its her fukking song, not his.

Rhianna isn’t American either so FOH

But she's not... Americans write and produce her shyt...

She just sings it

 

[DonRe]

I mean so what if she suing him aint ya nikkas money. Nor song. Nor his. Let her live. She just getting poppin then this nikka come and take her thunder. She wants all the shine. As she should.

Let the young wolves get to scrappin.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Seems like alot of people got something against this girl and our wating to turn on her quick as hell. Some of yall mad cause she british

Seems like she had nothing to do with this.

Lowkey her being a lightskin biracial is coming into play too

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

She got discovered doing covers, her career has been made from original material. Stop being dense

Y’all are really bending over backwards like as if her first big hit wasn’t a chord for chord cover of Tevin Campbell with some white girl lyrics over top her entire career is copying swag and covering other people’s songs now it’s a problem when jacquees covers her, we have to get lawyers involved ok

Y’all acting like Ella Mai is Stevie Wonder out here making entire compositions start to finish stop it. And you going right back on my ignore list

This. That's what some people really mad about. Her being from the U.K. is just a copout,

 

[MikeyC]

So why all the vitriol?

She don't write her music
She doesn't produce her music
She didn't send the cease and desist letter

What's the problem?

 

[UserNameless]

Honestly , this lets you know what kinda artist Quees could be with better songwriting and a machine behind him ... but imma fall back after this ...

 

[BlaqkSpliffin]

Jacquees is lowkey annoying tbh and I'm on Ella's side

She probably ain't even got nothing to do with it but breh be thirsty as hell and trying to ride off on other nikkas shyt. He's like the b*stard child of Wayne and Tory except nowhere near as talented.

I bet if he hadn't put that shyt on his official youtube channel none of this would have happened. Stick to Soundcloud next time

 

[Yaboysix]

Thats cold! Welp,guess he has to make his own hit. That'll show'em..
