[EXCLUSIVE] Diddy, Faith Evans & Voltetta Wallace Want Lawsuit Dismissed Over Biggie Song

Then on September 5th, Faith Evans, Voltetta Wallace and Bad Boy Entertainment fired back at the allegations Hutson is owed money.

The court docs explain, “Despite knowing that he owns nothing, every few years Mr. Hutson somehow recruits another lawyer to advocate on his behalf about matters long ago resolved”.

They state that Hutson owns no copyrights to the music at hand. Also,

the sole common element between the two works the use of a single guitar chord, channeled through a guitar pedal, commonly known as a “wah-wah” pedal – is not copyrightable.

Further it notes, “The songs are different, and share no musical, structural, rhythmic or thematic similarities. An average lay observer would not recognize or conclude that The What was taken from the Can’t Say Enough.”

The rappers estate and Bad Boy Entertainment are demanding the entire lawsuit be dismissed and Hutson not be awarded any profits from Biggie’s album. See the Exclusive Court Docs.
