(Exclusive) Rick Rozay Sues LMFAO Over 'Everyday I'm Shufflin' Phrase

Rick Ross LMFAO Split - H 2014

LMFAO's Shufflin' rhymes with Ricky's hustlin', and now there's some legal fussin'.

The Hip-hop superstar Rick Ross, along with Jermaine Jackson, has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against LMFAO, the Los Angeles-based electropop duo of Stefan Kendal Gordy (Redfoo) and Skyler Austen Gordy (SkyBlu). Kobalt Music Publishing and Kia Motors America are also defendants...Continue after this cut.


At issue is LMFAO's chart-topping 2010 song "Party Rock Anthem," which contains the phrase "Everyday I'm shufflin' " in the chorus.
Ross says he got there first on his own chart-topper "Hustlin'," which contains the lyric "Everyday I'm hustlin'." The song was released on Ross' 2006 debut album, Port of Miami.
According to a lawsuit filed in Florida federal court, "The use of 'Hustlin' ' in 'Party Rock Anthem' is readily apparent, despite the slight change from 'Everyday I’m hustlin' …' to 'Everyday I'm shufflin' …' and constitutes, inter alia, the creation of an unauthorized derivative work."
It's further alleged by the plaintiffs that the phrase is "performed in a manner to sound like" Ross' own, and "is an obvious attempt to capitalize on the fame and success of Hustlin'.
