Playboi Carti Sued by Singer Blakk Soul Over 2017 Track “Kelly K”
Rapper Playboi Carti is facing a lawsuit from singer Blakk Soul over a 2017 track titled “Kelly K”. According to reports, Blakk Soul claims that he wrote the song and granted Carti permission to use the track, but he never received proper payment or credit for his work.
Blakk Soul filed a lawsuit in a California court, accusing Carti and his team of infringing on his copyright. He is seeking damages and a declaratory relief for copyright infringement. The specific damages are not specified in the documents.
The lawsuit also names Carti’s record label, Interscope Records, as a defendant, alleging that the label knew about the song’s origins but failed to address the issue.
“Kelly K” was released as part of Carti’s debut studio album “Die Lit”, which dropped in August 2017. The song received significant attention and commercial success, but the controversy surrounding it has now taken center stage.
