According to TMZ, the
54-year-old singer and songwriter alleged that Nicki ‘stole her song’ ‘Baby Can
I Hold You.’
American-Trinidadian
rapper, Nicki Minaj has been sued by four-time Grammy winner Tracy Chapman for
copyright infringement.
The 35 year old singer is
said to have allegedly used ‘half of the lyrics and vocal melody’ of the 1988
hit to make her track Sorry.
Nicki made ‘multiple
requests to license’ Chapman’s song in June and all were denied, according to
the gossip site.
And despite stripping the
song off her new album Queen, Sorry was still played on the radio according to
the legal filing.
Chapman is asking that the
song not be released again and that she also receive damages.
