Action Bronson is being sued by salsa group El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico for sampling its songs without permission, TMZ reports.
The group is saying Bronson sampled “Falsaria” and “Trampolin” in his songs “Mofongo” and “Tapas” and did not get clearance.
The lawsuit cites a 2011 Twitter post the New York rapper made where he admits to using “Falsaria” and a 2014 interview where he says he listens to the Puerto Rican band while cooking.
El Gran Combo is seeking damages and a halt on distribution of the two Bronson songs.

Should’ve named his last album Mr. Cultural Appropriation, stealing an African-American man’s voice and stealing Latin American music. This White devil should be shipped to his cultural homeland of Albania. The Balkans are the racist cesspool of Europe, he belongs there.
you sound like you need to go back to your own home country. he didn’t steal no voice, he was born that way. fucking ignorance
you sound stupid Lil boy
He was born what way? Like a fat, dirty, pale, ginger, Albanian mutant. Put him on a fork lift, have the fork lift dump his fat ass into a shipping crate, load that shipping crate onto a boat, and sail that vessel to the Balkans.

Action Bronson’s L’s are snowballing at this point. Dude has turned into a joke now.
you’re an idiot…he didn’t clear a sample from 5 years ago when he wasn’t really that relevant and this group is looking to ride his wave. If he wasn’t winning they wouldn’t be seeking money from him because he’d be broke, plain and simple
