The rapper 6ix9ine has been sued for trademark infringement and unfair competition by the rapper Six9. Which is slightly confusing, but would be even more so if I was reading this story out loud.
I guess we could use 6ix9ine’s original performer name of Tekashi69. I know Six9 would prefer it if we did.Six9, aka Warren Hamilton, has been performing and releasing music under that name since 2007.
Or at least that’s what he claims in his lawsuit. 6ix9ine, aka Daniel Hernandez, began putting out music as Tekashi69 in 2014, before later mainly using the alternative moniker 6ix9ine.In his lawsuit, Hamilton claims that Hernandez changed his performer name as part of a rebrand that followed him pleading guilty to charges of ‘using a child in a sexual performance’, which related to videos he had made that featured a thirteen year old girl, which he later used in a music video.“Upon information and belief, in 2015, Hernandez pled guilty to a crime involving the use of a child in a sexual performance”, the lawsuit states.

Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean are the latest artists on the receiving end of a good old song-theft lawsuit, they being accused of ripping off an earlier track on their 2020 collaboration ‘Go Crazy’.According to Billboard, Detroit-based rappers Duawn Payne and Harrell James allege that ‘Go Crazy’ lifts from their 2012 song ‘Krazy’. In fact, their lawsuit reckons, even “an average lay observer would recognise the infringing work as having been appropriated from [‘Krazy’] because of the striking similarity between the two compositions and the way in which they are performed”.‘Go Crazy’ appeared on Megan Thee Stallion’s album ‘Good News’ and also featured a guest turn from 2 Chainz, although he’s not named as a defendant on the lawsuit.However, Big Sean – real name Sean Anderson – presumably had to be a co-defendant, because it’s via him that Payne and James are able to construct a theory as to how the team behind ‘Go Crazy’ were previously exposed to ‘Krazy’, despite it not having a full release.Payne and James say that their track was distributed and played widely in their home town and that it topped a Detroit chart on the ReverbNation platform.
Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean have been sued over an alleged copyright infringement on their song ‘Go Crazy’.According to Rolling Stone, Detroit artists Duawn “Go Hard Major” Payne and Harrell “H Matic” James claim that the song from Megan Thee Stallion’s 2020 album ‘Good News’ infringes on their 2012 song ‘Krazy’.In legal documents seen by Pitchfork, the lawsuit claims that the title, chorus, wording, timing, melodic sequence, harmonic sequence, tonal sequence, use of reverb, and use of cadence in the Megan and Big Sean song are “nearly identical” to their song.The lawsuit adds: “An average lay observer would recognise the Infringing Work as having been appropriated from the Copyrighted Work because of the striking similarity between the two compositions and the way in which they are performed…Indeed, the Infringing Work is so strikingly similar to the Copyrighted Work as to preclude the possibility of independent creation.”Payne and James also claim that Big Sean frequented venues where the song was performed.The lawsuit also alleges that Big Sean and Megan Thee Stallion were sent a cease and desist letter that “in good faith, sought to amicably resolve the issue.”It went on: “Since being placed on notice of their infringing conduct, Defendants have continued their willful and reckless disregard of the exclusive copyrights belonging to Plaintiffs, forcing Plaintiffs to initiate this lawsuit.”NME has reached out to representatives of Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean for comment.Earlier this month, Megan Thee Stallion confirmed that she will play London’s Brixton Academy ahead of her headline slot at this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival – get tickets here.Megan is set to perform at the 4,921-capacity venue on
