Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul Sues
Travis Scott for $20 Million DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia claims a
portion of Scott’s song, “No Bystanders,”
is stolen from his song, “Tear Da Club Up.” He says the "cadence and sound"
of the line in Scott’s song is “virtually
identical” to the hook from his 1997 song. “No Bystanders” was released
on Scott’s album, ‘Astroworld,’
which debuted at number one
on the ‘Billboard 200’ chart in 2018. The lawsuit specifically named Scott’s
2019 Grammy performance, where
he sang a censored version of his song
and chanted “tear the club up.” DJ Paul is seeking 20 million in
damages, as Scott did not seek
permission to use any portion
of the “Tear Da Club Up” track. Other members of Three 6 Mafia, Juicy J and
Gangsta Boo, are not listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Scott and DJ Paul have
reportedly been in touch
and are working out a solution. DJ Paul, via statement
