DJ Paul is planning on dropping his upcoming project Mafia All Day next month and former Three 6 Mafia member Playa Fly is none too pleased with the co-founder’s choice of title for his mixtape.
Playa Fly is known for his use of the term “Mafia all day” since the late ’90s and expressed his frustrations over DJ Paul using the phrase on Twitter Wednesday (August 3).
“What kind of shit is this??? What are your thoughts??? I call it copyright infringement,” Playa Fly wrote in a tweet attached to a picture of DJ Paul‘s mixtape cover accompanied by the hashtags #Lawsuit, #callyourlawyer and #seeyouincourt.
Whether or not Playa Fly plans to actually pursue the Academy Award-winning rapper in court is unclear. However, the King of Memphis has his doubts that he even has the funds to make that happen.
“First off this nigga cannot afford to sue me,” Paul says in a Twitter video. “He cannot afford to sue me. Second off, I’m not finna be up here beefing and dissing with some 40-something-year-old nigga that look like he’s about 70 fuckin’ five. Skinny ass, broke ass nigga that ain’t even got $75 in his fuckin’ pocket.”
The 41-year-old Tennessean is now considering changing the title of his mixtape to Mafia 4 Life. He insists it’s not because of Playa Fly‘s fans harassing him or his threat of a lawsuit, but because that’s what it was originally supposed to be titled anyway. He even threw a jab at anyone using the expression “mafia all day.”
“Cuz Im Not Mafia All Day…Im Mafia 4 Life!!! If U Saying Mafia All Day U Probly Was Just In Da Mafia For A Day 2 Be Real! Fyi U Cant Copyright A Title People,” he captioned on Instagram with the new title and mixtape cover.

Lmaoooo. Listen to this old bum ass nigga “playa flie” talking smack like he been around while three 6 made a name for theyselves. Foh bitch.
DJ Paul made this fool. Me made three 6 MAFIA…so how is he copying? this dude has no grounds to sue anyone
Fuck this sucka, he a nobody
Playa fly DID help triple 6 mafia get notoriety in the 90’s. It may have been a small part but an effective part. Name one person in Memphis who wasn’t bumpin Lil Fly back then. His style was wild. That being said, DJ Paul is right he wouldn’t last in a legal battle. It’s a shame they made great music together.
Man I thought I used to be a triple 6 fan but the only people I remember is crunchy, dj Paul, jucy j, lord infamous, gansta boo and sometimes project pat and 8 ball mjg..playa fly does not ring a bell
Fly was the shit when he first split with them back in the day.
@Kerry mundy,
You gotta go way back with them to know about Fly. I used to spend summers in Memphis and knew some of them from back in the early 90s because we were all just young folks doing our thing, but Fly was cold on that mic. He split with them before they even got exposure and way before the Relativity deal for sure. But to be real, he was mad talented, just had a bad cocaine problem, which all of them dabbled, but he was way worse with his. Gangsta Blac was another one that was out of hand with that powder.
Fly’s biggest problem was that he spent the majority of his career dissing his former group while the rest just pushed forward, made history and left him in the dust. All these years later, you can see the flaws in that strategy of his. I remember arguing with cats in the late 90’s about this stupid shit and even then you had to know who was gonna be the winner in the long run. Playa Fly accomplished so little in his life that he probably really is considering a pathetic lawsuit over this dumb shit. Paul just laughing at his house counting his money. Juice probably don’t even remember who he is lol
Paul gon fly swat that hoe…
@Truth Serum,
Not really. After the first couple of albums by the time when they were in their Relativity deal a couple of years, he cooled it on that shit. More of his problem was he was a powder head and didn’t have the business sense that Paul had because Paul had the connections. It’s why he’s the only one standing out of all of them with Juicy J over all these years because he knows how to build those relationships. Fly was never that type of dude. Imo, there were a million dudes ocolder than 3-6 back then but didn’t have those connections and fell into that pimping and powder, Memphis’s city past time. That pen bid didn’t help either because by the time he got back out, the whole game had flipped on him and shit had changed all over the industry. This dude was first out when Pac and Biggie were alive and came back out of the pen to a world where we were right up in the middle of the autotune era. Those 2 factors were really his downfall. Hell because he dissed them harder, but he didn’t diss them any more than they went at Bone back then.
All memphis hip hop/rap is good to me. I loved Fly and 3-6, Immortal Lowlifes, Orange Juice Clique, Manson Family, and on and on. Kinda think Fly should chill out though, Koop and Lord being gone and all. Obvious he was always just salty Paul blew up and he stayed underground, petty shit. Really wish you’d just forget that shit and collaborate instead of this useless shit.
Fly was never in 3 6. Know your history. 3 6 had six members. And fly was and is still talented. Paul and them don’t get a lot of love in Memphis cause they jacked a lot of beats and songs from fly and blac. 8ball and mjg were with suave house in Houston never with 3 6. Pat is hp. Members are boo crunchy juicy Paul Lord and Koop. That never changed.
That game owe me is a classic. But then fly got jammed. He should have been great. Like rick Ross said bumping playa fly until a playa die…
