Nicholas says he originally released the beat on a CD almost 20 years ago and didn’t realize it had been stolen until “In My Feelings” and “Nice For What” started dominating Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Nicholas is seeking damages from Asylum Records, Cash Money Records and Republic Records. Drake hasn’t responded to the suit publicly.
