According to reports, the estate of Nipsey Hussle has rejected a singer’s claim of being owed royalties from an appearance on the late rapper’s ‘Victory Lap’ album.
Singer Tasleema Yasin noted that she wasn’t adequately compensated for her work on the popular track for the Los Angeles star. Yasin previously filed court documents related to her inclusion on the song in September 2019, and now it has been revealed that Hussle’s estate rejected the claims.
Court documents surfaced with Yasin saying she collaborated with Nipsey in November 2016 and that she was heard “ascending four-note vocal phrase featured throughout the song’s runtime, as well as a countermelody in my higher register featured prominently during the song’s chorus.” Yasin went on to say she didn’t give her permission for her vocals to be used and hasn’t been paid any royalties for her appearance.
Yasin wants to be paid royalties that she is owed, but her claims have been rejected by Nip’s brother Blacc Sam, who is reportedly handling the matter. As of now, there has been no reason listed for the rejection by the estate. Stay tuned for more updates.
