Fetty Wap has been sued over his 2015 song “679,” according to TMZ. The suit has reportedly been filed by P-Dice, a former member of Fetty Wap’s Remy Boyz crew, who appeared on the original version of the track, which credits a feature to Remy Boyz (Monty and P-Dice). On Fetty’s chart-topping self-titled LP, however, P-Dice’s verse is removed and the feature credit belongs only to Monty.
According to TMZ, in the suit, P-Dice claims that Fetty Wap took out his verse because he did not want to pay him his full share of the song’s profits. P-Dice says he held a 16.9 percent stake in the original track, but that share was reduced to just 5 percent on the album version. He is suing Fetty Wap for at least $7 million in damages, according to TMZ.
“679” is the second song over which Fetty Wap has been sued. A Danish musician named Lazar Lakic is suing Fetty and producer Tony Fadd over the hit single “Trap Queen.” Lakic claims that he “purchased the exclusive rights” to the song’s instrumental, but has not received any compensation from the track’s success. Along with damages, Lakic reportedly wants all copies of “Trap Queen” destroyed.
Earlier this year, P-Dice was charged with attempted murder and other weapons offenses, stemming from a shooting that hurt a 7-year-old boy. P-Dice is currently out on bail.
