Trey Songz' Wallet: Bottom's Up


How about that title? I wasn't sure about it…

Derrick Price, Doc Mob Records and IHip Hop Music, a Washington, D.C. production company, most recently filed an $18 million lawsuit over the rights to the music on the hit song "Bottoms Up" by Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj.

Defendants include:
Trey Songz
Atlantic Records
Kodak
manager Gee Robertson
and song producer, Kane Beatz

Others do appear on the suit.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed February 2nd in the Southern District of New York Doc Mob hired producer Milton James aka "Tony Scales" to produce the original, copyrighted track for "Bottoms Up" for his company, Doc Mob Records.

Price and Doc Mob further claim the track was originally produced by James in Price's home studio.

At some point, James teamed with producer Kane Beatz who added production to the song, which was eventually used by Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj

The lawsuit claims that "Bottoms Up" was contained on Trey Songz' hit album Passion, Pain and Pleasure but only listed Kane Beatz as producer of the song.

Make sure to cover them tracks next time Team Trey.
