A DJ in Florida says Usher hijacked one of his tunes, laid down some lyrics, and put it on his album ... all without his permission, this according to a new lawsuit.
Aubrey Davis -- known as DJ Mixx -- filed a federal lawsuit in FL this week, claiming back in 2008 he created a musical composition titled "Let's Go."
DJ Mixx says he shopped the tune around looking for songwriters to add lyrics to the track, but nothing really panned out.
Here's the rub -- DJ Mixx claims one of the people he showed the song to passed it on to Usher somehow and the track ended up on Usher's album "Raymond v. Raymond" as the song "Hey Daddy." Mixx claims it was then copyrighted by the singer and his crew as their own work.
Now Mixx is pissed ... saying he never gave them permission to use the track and has received ZILCH in royalties. He and his legal team -- Singh, Singh & Trauben -- are suing for an unspecified amount and asking a judge to stop Usher from using the song ever again.
People sue after they feel a song is going to make the bulk of the money it could possibly make so they can get paid. It's actually smart to do it that way instead of trying to block a song being on an album of someone the caliber of Usher.
Why doesn't this person actually state what particular lyrics were stolen and how they were used. You need examples and proof if you're going to accuse someone.
