Back in August rapper Nicki Minaj announced that her new album 'Queen' might get pushed back because of an uncleared sample from folk singer Tracy Chapman's 2002 hit single 'Baby Can I Hold You [click here if you missed that].'
Now Tracy is suing after Nicki released the song anyway...
From TMZ
According to the suit, Funkmaster Flex played "Sorry" on Hot 97 and lots of Internet users picked up the song and sent it around. It was also played on "The Breakfast Club" with Charlamagne Tha God.
The day the track was played, Nicki tweeted, "Sis said no," which, according to the lawsuit, refers to Chapman's denial to her request to use "Baby Can I Hold You." Nicki and crew pulled the song from "Queen" and tried to make it disappear, but Tracy says the damage was done.Chapman is seeking damages and an order prohibiting Nicki from releasing the song again.
