Usher, Mark Wahlberg and Run-D.M.C. are facing a copyright infringement lawsuit.
According to Yahoo News, those 3 and other musicians were
sued for using samples from a R&B hit song without permission.
In the suit, Usher infringed on
“Different Strokes” with his 1993 song “Call Me a Mack,” while Public Enemy
made use of the tune on multiple songs, including “Fight the Power” and “Fear
of a Black Planet.”, Yahoo News added.
This isn’t the time that “Different
Strokes” had a copyright lawsuit. Kanye West and Jay-Z were sued that the song
was improperly sampled on that pair’s album “Watch the Throne.” That suit was
later settled.
