Damn, the rapper was inspired by the song. He probably should have just talked with Rick to get his thoughts before releasing it. It must be awkward to be a big fan and you're like this is for you! Then to have your hero turn around and sue you.

He just didn't get the proper clearance. Like from my understanding, Gravy and his team paid for two provisions in regards to the original song.

But the new song has three aspects they took from the original, hence the lawsuit.

He did get clearence, but that was to sample the instrumental. Astley suing because he didn't get clearence or permission to have someone imitate his vocals on the song.

Someone else (not Ricky) got most of the money from the Thong song because the term Living via loca was use. The music industry don't play.
