50 Cent Sued for Stealing Song Lyric
Source: AP

Rapper 50 Cent stole the opening line for his 2003 hit "In Da Club" from a song by former 2 Live Crew frontman Luther Campbell, an attorney claims in a lawsuit.

Richard C. Wolfe filed the copyright infringement lawsuit against Curtis James Jackson, aka 50 Cent, in Miami federal court last week on behalf of Lil' Joe Wein Music.

50 Cent only changed one word from the opening line of Campbell's song from "It's Your Birthday," Wolfe said — after repeating the word "go" several times, "Sheila" becomes "shorty" in the line, "Go shorty, it's your birthday."

Didn't 2 Quarters steal the same melody from his own first album's single to use on his second album's single?

I don't listen to this music and I could easily tell it was the same damn song.
