Drake Sued Over Sample Used in ‘Pound Cake’


 
Drake has been sued over a sample used in his Jay Z-assisted track, “Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2,” TMZ reports.
 
The estate of late jazz musician Jimmy Smith alleges that Drake sampled the intro to his 1982 song “Jimmy Smith Rap” without permission. While the liner notes reflect that the sample was properly licensed, the lawsuit claims that Drake never asked for permission.
 
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Smith’s estate is suing Drake, Cash Money and others for over $300,000.
