Tyrone “Caliber” Simmons, a 28-year old up and coming rapper from Atlanta, is claiming that rapper 50 Cent stole the beat for his song “I Get Money” which was featured on The Massacre.
According to AllHipHop.com, Simmons purchased the license to the instrumental version of “I Get Money” which cannot be used without his permission due to a copyright.
“The misappropriation of copyright-protected material is an endemic problem in the music business, and particularly in the genre of hip-hop/rap. This is one such case,” said Louis D. Tambaro, Simmons’ attorney. “Our client was granted exclusive rights to the ‘I Get Money’ instrumental and was unceremoniously cut out of the loop when the defendants realized they had a huge hit on their hands.”
Parties named in Simmons’ lawsuit include 50 Cent, Aftermath Entertainment, G-Unit, and Shady Records. It is unclear how much Simmons is seeking in his lawsuit.
In other news, FastCompany.com reports that 50 Cent has invested in yet another company. This time the rapper turned entrepreneur is investing in digital eyewear performance company Gunnar Optiks.
Gunnar Optiks recently introduced their high-end 3-D glasses which create a more comfortable 3-D viewing experience. Glasses range from $70 to $200.
50 Cent even posted a picture of himself wearing a pair of Gunnar Optiks glasses via Twitter.
“Tweetin with my gunnar glasses on trick! U aint got these suckas. Get ur money right ima get like 50 new hoes wit,” said 50 Cent in a Tweet.
“50 Cent stole the beat for his song “I Get Money†which was featured on The Massacre.”

@ SHUTTAMAN you are the most ignorant scumbag I have come accross in a long time. The law is the law and if Mr. Simmons owns the beat no one can do what they will with it unless they want to either one purchase the beat or two let Mr. Simmons get in on the funds since the beat does belong to him. So you ignorant one wanna talk about somebodys Momma when urs in on the corner givin it away for rocks in the snow. Please tell her to save you a little so your dumb ass can go back to school. Get your money Mr. Simmons you deserve it!

Yeah, pretty much every news/rumor that allhiphop posts makes its way over to this site shortly after. And the wording is almost identical everytime. Not a surprise though…The person that runs this site used to help run allhiphop.com.

sued? really? Is your dickriding that serious?
yeah “I get money” was on Curtis and first of all it was produced by Apex, did Apex sell the beat to that other dude first? also someone stole the beat from Apex and tried to sell it to fifty as if it was his beat, and they asked him for a multi track session and he didn’t have it, that’s how they found out it was Apex’s and paid him for it, so now it turns out Apex sold it someone else? we need more details…
This nigga career is ova. The Boss buried his career. G-unit and 50 is fuckin finished.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
