Drake (real name Aubrey Drake Graham) is at the center of another legal battle involving his royalties, this time a music company is accusing Cash Money Records of refusing to pay over $117K owed to them from the rappers music sales — theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports.

Back in 2011, the company, MFMNG Productions explains a musician named Cedric Hill licensed 2 songs to Cash Money & Young Money Records. The music was to be sampled on 2 of Drake’s tracks “Over My Dead Body” and “H.Y.F.R.” (Hell Yeah F-cking Right) on his album, ‘”Take Care”.

Per the licensing deal, Cash Money was to pay royalties ranging from 2.5% – 10% from Drake’s sales of the songs.
