How about a lawsuit and tie, Justin Timberlake?
Timberlake’s 2013 smash single “Suit & Tie” is at the center of a lawsuit brought by members of the ’70s group Sly Slick & Wicked.
The suit, filed in federal court in New York on Wednesday, says that the group’s song “Sho’ Nuff” is sampled in “Suit & Tie” — as well as J. Cole’s 2013 song “Chaining Day” — but that, while its use was cleared, they haven’t been properly compensated for it.
The group also claims that they haven’t received proper payback for the song’s use in Bud Light commercials.
