Last year comedian Lil Duval recorded his debut single 'Smile [Living My Best Life].'
Now Duval's writing partners are suing him over the smash hit...
According to reports Lil Duval's former friends, music producer Darwin Quinn and professional songwriter Mitchelle’l Sium, are suing Duval for copyright infringement accusing him of stealing all the profits from a song they created together.
Quinn, who produced Young Dro's 'Shoulder Lean' claims to have played a beat for Duval back in 2017 while he and Sium wrote the lyrics for a song called 'Back and Forth.'
Quinn and Sium claim Duval went behind their backs to work with a different producer who used their lyrics on a different beat for Duval's summer smash, 'Smile' ft. Snoop Dogg.
Quinn and Sium are seeking co-ownership of the song and $150,000 for each instance of copyright infringement.
