E-40 is not in the mood to play games. The Bay Area rap staple has reportedly decided to sue author Erika Kane, who penned the book Captain Save A Hoe under the name iikane, according to TMZ.
40 Water is accusing Kane and her publishers of lifting the title from his 1993 track of the same name.
In new court documents, the “Sprinkle Me” rapper claims he owns the rights to the phrase “Captain Save a Hoe” and that Kane blatantly stole it for her own gain. 40 wants a judge to pull book from shelves and is requesting any profits Kane has made from the book.
HipHopDX reached out to E-40’s camp, but didn’t hear back immediately.

Wait. So did he coin up the phrase? That would be a dope fact if the day…
*of
King of slang.
40 Water got this.
You can’t copyright a song title. Facts. He’s wasting his time.
You can. As a matter of fact, you can patent a phrase, a name a slogan or a slang term. E-40 published a book of slang terminology awhile back, so I’m sure he knows exactly how to cease and desist the womans’ book and collect his revenue from it. But I bet you didn’t know none of that shit judging from your uninformed comment. Now you know.
