Jay Z is currently waiting to
see whether their motion to dismiss the lawsuit will be accepted.
Jay Z is said to be fighting
a lawsuit over his use of the word ‘oh’
in his 2009 hit single ‘Run this town’.
Record label TufAmerica has
announced that it is suing the hip-hop star – who is married to
Beyonce – for the use of the single syllable sample ‘oh’,
which is allegedly taken from Eddie Bo’s 1969 single ‘Hook
and sling’.
However, the rapper has hit
back at the accusation, with a statement from his lawyers reading: ‘Even
if one short word – or the recording thereof –
could possibly be deemed original enough to warrant copyright protection, this
fleeting and generic phrase is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively
significant.’
Jay Z is currently waiting to
see whether their motion to dismiss the lawsuit will be accepted.
Meanwhile, it was reported
earlier this week that Beyonce and Jay Z are working on a new album together.
The married couple –
who have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy together –
are planning to head into the recording studio together for a record, which is
likely to be released later this year or early 2015.
The claim was made by DJ
Skree on his Dash Radio show. He said: ‘I have confirmed and
talked to a couple sources.’
