Lil Wayne’s issues with the judicial system are continuing to add
up. As he awaits sentencing for that infamous gun charge, he’s being
hit with a lawsuit for unpaid compensation from an old business
associate. Weezy and his daddy, Birdman, are being taken to court for
copyright infringement for their work on Like Father/Like Son.

Thomas Marascuillo of Florida claims that his voice was used without permission or pay on tracks from their Like Father, Like Son album and Baby’s 5 Star Stunna.

Marascuillo filed a lawsuit Friday against Birdman, Lil Wayne, Cash
Money Records and several music outlets seeking payment. According to
the lawsuit, Cash Money Records had him “cut some Italian style
spoken word recordings” in 2006 for the father and son team’s
album. He then claims the recordings were used on four tracks from Like Father/Like Son and five tracks from Baby’s 5 Star Stunna without compensation.  

According to him, he found out his voice was being used without his
permission after his daughter discovered the track
“Respect” when trying to buy a ringtone. He also claims
that his son was fired from his job as a recording engineer at Cash
Money after Marascuillo began seeking payment.
