A new lawsuit accuses Nicki Minaj of directly stealing the rhythm of her song "I Lied" from another artist... a scenario according to sources close to Nicki is impossible given that she did not manage the production of the song.
The rapper, along with mega-producer Mike Will Made It, is being sued by Julius Johnson, who says the music played under vocals on Nicki's track from 'The Pinkprint' sounds like a carbon copy of a song he created years before dropping "J'ai menti".
However, our Nicki sources tell us she was unaware of the beat, saying, "Clearly Nicki is a lyricist, so the production claim will obviously have to be dealt with by the parties. concerned."< /p>
As far as those applicable parties go, it looks like Mike Will was the one who brought Nicki the beat.
As for the story, Johnson claims to have released his song, titled "onmysleeve", on YouTube in September 2011... 3 years before the release of "I Lied".
In the documents, Johnson claims he had the beat on a hard drive when he attended the Art Institute of Atlanta...and he says that in 2013 the hard drive was taken during a a studio session without his consent.
Johnson claims associates of Nicki and Mike Will Made It were at the Institute around the same time and believes they somehow got hold of her missing hard drive.
