Nicki Minaj has been sued for copyright infringement, by a relatively
unknown artiste from Chicago.
The artist named Clive Tanaka claimed that Nicki illegally used portions of
his 2011 track called “Neu Chicago” in her 2012 smashing hit, “Starship”.
Filed on Tuesday, September 10 in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Tanaka’s
lawsuit also names RedOne, the producer of the track, as well as co-writers
Carl Falk, Wayne Hector, and Rami Yacoub. Tanaka alleged that the
producer and writers were living in Sweden when “Neu Chicago” was
featured in several TV ads in the country.
He says “[The 'Starship' collaborators] had a very good opportunity to hear
it,” Tanaka’s lawyer, Christopher Niro, said.
It was reported that Tanaka has previously posted his “Neu Chicago” and
Minaj’s “Starship” online, so people could hear the similarities between the
two tracks.
We have not heard anything from Nicki Minaj’s Camp
