A musician in the Big Easy is making claims that <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a> swiped his music, and he&#8217;s<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drake-fan-suing-rapper-for-serious-brain-injuries-she-got-at-his-concert-report-news.85795.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> taking the rapper to court to prove it.</a> The Toronto artist isn&#8217;t the only one being named in the lawsuit as New Orleans bounce icon Big Freedia has found herself in the musician&#8217;s crosshairs, as well.
According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/21/drake-sued-stealing-beats-in-my-feelings-nice-for-what-big-freedia/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TMZ</a>, a man named Samuel Nicholas III, or Sam Skully, is accusing both stars of jacking his beat for their viral hit track &#8220;In My Feelings.&#8221; He also states that Drake <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drake-documentary-sparks-lawsuit-against-universal-music-group-news.72156.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">double dipped and swiped another one</a> of his songs for &#8220;Nice For What,&#8221; the track that samples <a href="/profile/OfficialLaurynHill" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lauryn Hill</a>&#8217;s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill single &#8220;Ex-Factor.&#8221;

Skully says that &#8220;In My Feelings&#8221; takes directly from his track titled &#8220;Roll Call,&#8221; a song that he created back in 2000. The musician&#8217;s beats were allegedly featured on Skully&#8217;s CD <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/drakes-care-package-sets-a-welcome-precedent-for-other-rappers-news.87241.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">he released that same year</a> and, according to him, no one asked his permission or paid him to use his music. Drake and Freedia aren&#8217;t Skully&#8217;s only targets, as the musician has also named Republic Records, Asylum Records, and Cash Money Records in the lawsuit. We searched for Skully&#8217;s songs in order to feature comparisons, but they have yet to be made available online.
