Lord Finesse decided to break his silence on the pending $10 Million lawsuit. The Hip-Hop legend decided to release a statement on his side of the story.
“I love mixtapes but this is different. And it’s not a sample. Mac didn’t take a piece of music and create something new. He didn’t transform it into something other than what it was. He just dropped the needle on my record and changed the title. Permission was never given. A lot of money was made on my song. At the end of the day, I only stepped to these people for proper credit and compensation. I have done a lot of great things in hip hop and I never wanted a lawsuit. Never. I made every attempt to resolve this. But, when I reached out to these people their attitude was I should be grateful Mac was using my music to sell out concerts because it keeps me relevant. How does it keep me relevant if I’m not being credited or compensated? You’ve heard Mac, you’ve heard a portion of it from me. The truth will come out in court.”
Mac Miller on the other hand issued a statement via Twitter, “I just talked to Lord Finesse…He’s still suing me. To my fans, don’t be disrespectful. Finesse is a legend. If you have a problem with his actions be intelligent about it and be respectful.”
We shall wait and see….
