Boosie Badazz is not one to shy away from a business opportunity, especially when it involves protecting his work. Recently, he called out fellow artists Rod Wave and Kodak Black for allegedly stealing his songs and using them on their new albums. Boosie is not one to let things slide, and he believes that paying homage also means paying him for his hard work.
Key Takeaway
Boosie Badazz accuses Rod Wave and Kodak Black of stealing his songs for their albums, sparking a heated dispute. Boosie believes in fair compensation for his work and insists that paying homage also means paying him. Rod Wave pleads for an amicable resolution, but Boosie remains steadfast in his fight for recognition and compensation.
Boosie’s Claim Against Rod Wave
One of the songs in question is Rod Wave’s single “Long Journey,” which was featured on his album “Nostalgia” and topped the charts for two consecutive weeks in September. Boosie claims that the song is a direct ripoff of his own 2010 track with the same name. According to Boosie, he did not give permission for Rod Wave to use his work, and this has led to a heated dispute between the two artists.
Kodak Black’s Alleged Infringement
Boosie also took issue with Kodak Black, who released his latest project “When I Was Dead” featuring the single “Eaze Your Mind.” Boosie’s version of “Eaze Your Mind” was released in 2007, and he claims that Kodak should have sought proper clearance for using his sample. Despite their falling out earlier in the year, Boosie believes there was still an opportunity for Kodak to conduct fair business.
Rod Wave’s Response
After catching wind of Boosie’s grievances, Rod Wave took to social media to plead his case. In a video, he requested Boosie to skip the legal process and allow him to pay out of pocket, stressing that he did not want to overcharge him. Rod Wave, who is currently on tour, hoped to resolve the matter amicably and avoid any further conflict.
Boosie’s Fiery Retort
Boosie, however, was not convinced by Rod Wave’s plea. He lashed out at the fellow artist, accusing him of swindling money from his kids’ college funds. Boosie believes that he deserves fair compensation for his work, and he is determined to stand his ground.
A payday from Yung Bleu
As if his dispute with Rod Wave and Kodak Black wasn’t enough, Boosie also mentioned that he expects a payday from his estranged brother and former artist, Yung Bleu. It seems that Boosie is ready to tackle any challenges that come his way and ensure that he receives the recognition and compensation he deserves.
