Rappin’ 4-Tay is best known for his 90s hit “Playaz Club,” and was back in the news a couple of years back when he settled out of court with Drake, after Drake used some of his lyrics on “Who Do You Love?” Unfortunately, he’s making headlines today because he has been arrested for first degree residential burglary. The arrest actually occurred on September 24, and he’s remained behind bars since then, after failing to make his $112k bail. Damn, he didn’t save the $100k he got from settling with Drizzy?!
Drake Settles With Rappin 4-Tay For $100k For Using His Lyrics On “Who Do You Love?”
Often times, rappers will spit a couple of bars previously said by another rapper – typically one they admire and/or said some dope sh*t. Such is the case with Drake on “Who Do You Love?”, but unfortunately, it cost him $100,000. A few of the opening bars on “Who Do You Love?” are pulled from Rappin 4-Tay’s 1994 hit “Playaz Club,” and 4-Tay wanted to have at least gotten some credit, if nothing else. He never officially filed a lawsuit against Drake, but I guess there were threats of one – because behind closed doors, the guys settled for a cool $100k for “borrowing” the lines. Listen to both records below. Wonder how Biggie would be taxing all these people if he was alive!
