Red Rat says a lawsuit against R and B Star Chris Brown, over the use of a sample of one of his songs, was initiated without his authorization.
In a post on his Instagram account Red Rat says Greensleeves Records and the individuals involved in the lawsuit against Brown are not and have not been authorized by him or anyone acting on his behalf to represent his interest in the matter.
He says they do so without proper grounds to act.
It was widely reported that Greensleeves Records has filed a 1.5 million dollar lawsuit against the American entertainer for copyright infringement of Red Rat’s single “Tight Up Skirt” in his 2017 hit “Privacy”
According to Greensleeves, which claims to own rights to the song, Brown and his agents did not see or receive permission to use the sample and that the lyrics of both songs were similar.
