Lil Uzi Vert's decision to add his Young Thug and Gunna collab "Strawberry Peels" to the deluxe version of his latest album could prove costly...the Generation Now rhymer is being sued over the song.

According to legal documents, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Wheezy producer Uzi, Thug, Gunna, as well as record labels Atlantic and Generation Now are being sued by Sun City Publishing for allegedly stealing clips from Blackout's 1995 song called "Dim Da Lights."

Sun City claims he never gave Uzi permission to sample the track and says "Strawberry Peels" has been a huge hit since its release... amassing over 39 million Spotify streams and over 4 million plays on YouTube.

Sun City believes the song made over $1 million and now wants at least that much in damages.

The prosecution obviously brings more bad news for Thug and Gunna...remember, both were related to the RICO criminal cases in Georgia.

We have contacted Uzi's legal team...so far no response.
