P Diddy Seany Bad Boy Combs, or whatever you prefer to call him, has been accused of copyright infringement by a little known R&B artist over a track released by the hip hop mogul's music company Bad Boy Entertainment.
According to Allhiphop.com, the dispute is over the track 'Table Dance', which appeared on the 2007 Bad Boy released album 'Back Up N Da Chevy' by Boyz N Da Hood. Singer Rhythum, real name Troy Hicks, claims the track sampled his song 'Private Dancer' without permission.
It's Diddy's Bad Boy company that is named in the lawsuit, filed in Dallas last week, along with Boyz In Da Hood themselves, Block Entertainment, the indie label who originally created the hip hop combo, and Warner's Atlantic Records, who distribute Bad Boy releases. None of the defendants have, as yet, commented.
