Lil Wayne Sued For $500K Over "Lollipop" Song
Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne is reportedly being sued by producer Jim Jonsin who claims he was never compensated for his work on the smash hit, “Lollipop.”
According to Jonsin, he has yet to be paid for his contribution to the Carter III .
The producer of Lil Wayne’s hit “Lollipop” is suing the rapper for $500,000 over the track.
Weezy is currently serving a prison sentence for gun possession but that still hasn’t stopped him getting into trouble. Jim Jonsin claims he hasn’t earned any money from the smash single – which was released back in 2008 and went to number one in the US. Jonsin produced Lollipop and is credited as a co-writer.
Jonsin also pointed out that the Carter III track has made millions in profits.
On behalf of himself and his company, Rebel Rock Productions, Jim Jonsin, whose real name is James Scheffer, sued Young Money Entertainment in Manhattan Federal Court. Scheffer says “Lollipop” has garnered more than 4 million downloads and more than $4 million in ringtone sales. Scheffer says the rapper promised semi-annual accounting statements, but skipped the statements due in December 2008 and June 2009. When it did provide them, the statements
“grossly underreported the monies due plaintiff and were not accompanied by any payment,” Scheffer says.
