Usher hit with song lawsuit
Written by . Published: July 16 2012
Usher has been hit with a lawsuit from a DJ alleging the R&B star used one of his tunes without permission.
Aubrey Davis, known as DJ Mixx, filed papers in Florida earlier this week (begs09Jul12), claiming he created a musical composition titled Let's Go in 2008 and hunted for songwriters to add lyrics to the track.
He claims the track was passed on to Usher and was used on his
album Raymond v. Raymond as the song Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home).
Davis claims the song was then copyrighted by the singer and his
crew as their own work, and he is now suing for unspecified
damages. He is also calling for a judge to stop Usher from using
the song, according to TMZ.com.
