BIG KRIT in trouble with sampling 1million dollar lawsuit on its way
Loved soul group The O'Jays are very unhappy about a new Crown Royal whiskey commercial which uses their most well known hit, "For The Love Of Money."
The group filed a lawsuit against Crown Royal for using the song, and claimed they were humiliated by the advertisement. The commercial features Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T. rapping over the O'Jays music, and two of the original members are having none of it. The singers called K.R.I.T. "a poser with limited ability to carry a tune" who performed a "self-aggrandizing childish rap."
The O'Jays are asking for more than a million dollars in damages.

Dirty game... I haven't seen the commercial. I'd like to though.
Usually, I don't like to say this when old music stars sue for sampling, but I think its true here.. I think based on how they stereotyped krit and song, making it sound like its talking about shooting and banging hoes when its a motivational track thats nothing but positive that their doing it for the money.
