Stoopid is as stoopid does.
Just when Tekashi 6ix9ine thought his legal troubles were behind him, a Miami artist claims in a lawsuit that the rainbow-haired rapper and his producer ripped off his work to make the track “Stoopid.”
Rapper Yung Gordon, whose real name is Seth Gordon, filed his copyright infringement lawsuit in Brooklyn federal court just weeks after a Manhattan judge sentenced Tekashi to two years in prison on racketeering charges.
Certain versions of “Stoopid,” released in October 2018, contain a snippet of Gordon belting out a few lines, his lawsuit charges.
“Y’all already know, it be the boy Yung Gordon/ You rockin’ with Take Money Promotions/ Ay Take Money Promotions/ Give ’em that new s–t, no fool s–t/ Oh Yeah, let’s go,” Gordon raps in versions of “Stoopid” that have been taken down from the Spotify streaming-music service.
Gordon says he emailed the 9-second “drop” to Tekashi’s producer — and says he was never advised that it would be used in the song prior to its release.
The drop is still contained in a video produced for the song and posted on YouTube, in which Tekashi rides through the “desert in a rainbow-colored Ferrari and riding roller coasters at the Dubai amusement park,” the lawsuit states.
Gordon seeks unspecified damages and attorney’s fees.
The Miami New Times has trumpeted Gordon in 2016 as leading a generation of “new Miami party rap.”
Tekashi, a Bushwick-born rapper whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, pleaded guilty last year to the racketeering beef for the bit of street crime he committed with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods — the violent gang whose members he ended up snitching on with hopes of getting a light sentence.
