Cash Money Records sued by a 70s Producer

   
 
 
Lil Wayne and Birdman's label Cash Money Records seems to be in hot water over allegations that they illegally used a sample from a 70's song that was used in one of Bow Wow's tracks. Robert Poindexter, the producer behind the lawsuit claims Cash Money sampled his band's song "Love Gonna Pack Up ( and Walk Out)" and used it in Bow Wow's 2010 track "Still Ballin". Poindexter stated neither Cash Money nor Bow Wow got permission to sample the track. He also claims he reached out to Cash Money for an answer and was directed to Bow Wow's attorneys, who then directed him back to Cash Money. Poindexter wants $600,000 in punitive damages, plus interest. Cash Money has yet to respond to the suit.
