The lawsuit says that recently “Baby Got Back” was sampled in Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and it caused him to investigate why he wasn’t asked for permission for the song to be used. His investigation lead him to the copyrights that Sir Mix A-Lot filed that didn’t include his name.

Ford is suing, demanding all accounting for profits made from the songs he contributed to that the rapper released along with all accounting records for Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” along with monetary damages for being screwed out of his profits by Sir Mix A-Lot. See the exclusive court docs.

    please, when writing an article to your research. Baby’s got back to not come out in the eighties, didn’t even come out in the late eighties. It came out in the 90 you. You are no longer a reputable source and anything you write, I would highly recommend citing your sources, and knowing first of all what you’re talking about. You have your face plastered all over your website, yet you have no consistency in your writing style. Take this as constructive criticism, take a writing class, and figure out how to make a more consistent flow for your readers. Thank you.

    I just read this the other day. What’s so funny is everyone on here is only focused on the one hit wonder comment however that is not what the article is about. The article states that Mix A lot put out the song without allowing the d.j that helped him make it get any publishing and paid him nothing. If that were me I would be mad too and so would you keep it 100
