Billboard: Rick Ross Sues LMFAO Over 'Shufflin' Line
Permalink  
 

Shufflin' rhymes with hustlin', and now there's some legal fussin'.

Hip-hop superstar Rick Ross, along with Jermaine Jackson, have filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against LMFAO, the Los Angeles-based electronic pop duo of Stefan Kendal Gordy (Redfoo) and Skyler Austen Gordy (Sky Blu), The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Kobalt Music Publishing and Kia Motors America are also defendants. Read the complaint here

At issue is LMFAO's chart-topping 2010 song, "Party Rock Anthem," which contains the phrase, "Everyday I'm shufflin'," in the chorus.

Ross says he got there first on his own chart-topper, "Hustlin'," which contains the lyric, "Everyday I'm hustlin.'" The song was released on Ross' 2006 debut album, Port of Miami. Hear both songs below:
