Lil Wayne Sues his producer

Lil Wayne has filed a lawsuit against the producer of his track “I Feel Like Dying” for allegedly sampling another singer’s work without permission.

      The move stems from a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against the rapper last year by folk singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel’s, who claimed the track used portions of her song “Once” without permission.

       Weezy’s lawsuit, filed last week by his lawyers, says Rebel Rock Productions Inc., of Coconut Creek, Fla., produced “I Feel Like Dying” and was responsible for obtaining any necessary licensing agreements, reports the Associated Press.      

       Last month, a federal magistrate ordered Lil Wayne to turn over financial records for his Grammy-winning album, “Tha Carter III,” to Urband & Lazar Music Publishing, which published “Once.”      

       “I Feel Like Dying” isn’t a track on “Tha Carter III,” but a lawyer for Urband & Lazar argues that Lil Wayne promoted the album by singing that song in concert and allowing fans to download it for free on his Web site.
