Three 6 Mafia members Juicy J and DJ Paul have reportedly filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the $uicideboy$ for illegally sampling their music.
According to AllHipHop, the veteran Hip Hop artists have accused the New Orleans group of stealing songs such as “Sippin’ on Some Syrup,” “Where’s Da Bud,” “Charging These Hoes,” “Robbers,” “Now I’m High, Really High,” “Chickenhead” and “Crucifix.”
In total, Paul and J say $uicideboy$ stole 35 of their songs and worked them into tracks on their album I Want to Die in New Orleans and other projects.
The lawsuit was filed with the United States District Court, Central District of California earlier this month and alleges $uicideboy$ members Scrim and Ruby Da Cherry and their label G59 Recordings are guilty of copyright infringement.
But $uicideboy$ have denied the allegations and claim they received verbal permission in exchange for production work on at least 12 Juicy J songs from the mixtapes shutdaf##kup and Highly Intoxicated.
They said, “[Juicy J] verbally approved the clearances of any claimed Three 6 Mafia samples allegedly used by the $uicideboy$ in exchange for the production services, unpublished beats and creative contributions of the $uicideboy$ services to the 2 [Juicy J] mixtapes.”
$uicideboy$ have also made some allegations of their own. They say J’s bodyguard swindled them out of $30,000 in one encounter. In another, they say Paul stole six of their songs and used them on a track called “$uicide 6ix” by Seed of 6 whose members include Paul’s three nephews.

They also claim Paul and J “failed to clear the samples contained in certain songs they accuse $uicideboy$ of stealing” and the copyrights they do hold are “invalid” because they were “obtained fraudulently or otherwise improperly.” Lawyers for $uicideboy$ firmly state all of their tracks were created independently of Paul and J’s music.
Nonetheless, J and Paul are looking for $1,200,000 in “compensatory and actual damages, including defendants’ profits from infringement, in an amount in excess of $1,200,000” plus $5,250,000 for statutory damages, a total of $6,450,000.
My God, $uicideBoyz suck hardcore amounts of a$$… You can hear that blatent ripoff of Three Six’s songs ( not to mention they sound like a sh*tty mix of BTNH, Three Six Mafia, Crucial Conflict, Do or Die with a nail driven through your skull type sound added to them. Justified, Sue the f**k out of these clowns.
Tru
you mustve just watched their top videos and not listened to any of their music you sound like a clown they do a variety of styles go listen to some young thug or kanye then
lool fr dumbass headass talking shit
This is all DJ Paul… i doubt juicy j had anything to do with it. Juicy J name has to be on it tho cause him and Paul own all their own music together. I wonder if Paul is going broke.
Yeah I was thinking the same cause Juicy J has been working with them over the past few years i would imagine he was aware of the sampling and likely gave the verbal consent they mentioned but since he shares the publishing and rights with DJ Paul it probably needed his consent as well which he didn’t give so therefore he decided to sue since he wasn’t involved.
I don’t know if Paul is going broke but I know he’s mentioned he’ll let anyone sample his catalog as long as they pay so I imagine thats been a decent revenue stream clearing samples.
I’m a big three six fan so I follow Paul and Juicy J to keep up with their music. From what I see from Paul, he advertises his clothing line alot, does custom shoutout videos for about $100, and was doing DJ sets online and asking for donations, that’s what brought me to maybe he’s running low on cash, hopefully not tho. They are the two best producers out there, EVERYONE should want a Dj Paul/Juicy J produced track!
No but those suicide dummies are about to be lmao
Doubt that.
you look goofy nowwww
They stole a lot from Tommy Wright III as well
This shit is permissible under copyright law. It’s transformative and becomes an original work. All these clowns suing each other re hampering art for greed.
Lol I thought juicy was yelllin play me sum of that suicide pimpin at the beginning of every one of his snaps
If white people sue black people, it’s raycissm and white supremacy. When black people use jooish lawyers to sue white people, it’s “kosher”.
And Juicy J made a song with them
Sounds to me like these two washed up hasbeens from Three Six Mafia are broke.. 1.2 mil ain’t shit especially split two ways minus lawyer fees etc costs.. i thought all these rappers were like billionaires? Yet suing for peanuts.. 1.2 mil foh bum ass niggas.. broke ass niggas!
If they stole the work than they need to pay.. simple
Only thing about that tho, Paul and Juice did the same thing when they were coming to. They stole from DJ squeeky, playa fly, Tommy wright… kinda hypocritical
Thing is they didn’t have they shit copyrighted back then
3 6 actually played it smart and still make money off of their old music. Do your research buddy. Also a million dollars is a lot of money u fucking clown.
