LUDACRIS HIT WITH A LAWSUIT » Three producers from Chester, Pennsylvania, are claiming that Ludacris stole their track and used it on his hit album “The Red Light District.” The lawsuit alleges that “Boogiii Men Entertainment Group” sent a CD of beats to the Atlanta-bred rapper’s Disturbing Tha Peace record label back in 2004. And apparently one of those beats ended up setting the groundwork for Ludacris’ hit single “Get Back,” which only cited The Medicine Men and Tic Toc as the song’s producers.

The three producers who make up Boogiii Men Entertainment Group, Damon “Damethegreat” Mayfield, Markus “Vincent” Vick, and Anthony Turner, attempted to contact the label but were met with lukewarm responses, the lawsuit states. So now the three men, who have worked with artists like Juelz Santanta, Rampage of Flipmode Squad, Charli Baltimore, and more, are suing Ludacris and his label for copyright infringement.
