According to record label TufAmerica, the hip hop giant took the short word form Eddie Bo's 1969 single "Hook and Sling".
The "Holy Grail" hit-maker has already responded to the accusation. His legal rep stated that, "Even if one short word – or the recording thereof – could possibly be deemed original enough to warrant copyright protection, this fleeting and generic phrase is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively significant."
Therefore they've reportedly set a motion to dismiss the lawsuit but it remains unclear if TufAmerica will accept to walk away.
