Music Biz– Wiz Khalifa Sued for Allegedly Copying Another Rapper’s Song “Most of Us”

Wiz Khalifa‘s single “Most of Us” came out back in 2015, but this week he was hit with a lawsuit by a rapper he met in 2012 at the Salt Lake City airport.

According to the rapper, who goes by the name of Cymple Man, he ran into Khalifa at the airport and handed over two copies of a song he made called “Most of Us.” The hope was that Khalifa would collaborate with him and the chance encounter would turn out to be his big break. Instead, he claims that Khalifa’s single “unmistakably copies the essential elements” of Cymple’s original.

According to a report from TMZ, Cymple Man is suing Khalifa for damages and is asking him to stop using the song. You can hear both versions above and below, and decide for yourself whether Khalifa has committed plagiarism.

In 2016, Khalifa sued his former manager, Benjy Grinberg, and Grinberg’s label Rostrum Records to terminate a 360 deal that he signed at the beginning of his rap career. The lawsuit claimed that Grinberg profited off of “self-dealing.” They eventually agreed to an undisclosed settlement.
