No stranger to lawsuits, Tyga is currently being dragged into court by New Orleans rapper Pretty Maw for allegedly using parts of her song “17th” for his recent single “Swap Meet” without paying her, TMZ reports.
Maw states Tyga agreed to pay her a fixed amount including royalties but was never paid. She says Tyga convinced her to allow for him to use her likeness in the video and she even made an appearance at the end, which currently sits at over seven million views on YouTube.
Though Maw hasn’t named the similarities between “17th” and “Swap Meet,” she maintains Tyga “heavily” sampled her work. Now, Pretty Maw is asking for the “Taste” rapper to pay up.
In 2016, the former Young Money artist was sued by a previous landlord for defaulting on his rent and again last year for skipping out on a scheduled show in Dubai after pocketing the money.

Yeah okay. You gonna pay The Hot Boys for “Hot Girl” since this rhythm sound exactly like that. Then are they gonna pay UNLV for stealin their bounce? That 17 ish was trash and not original.
That sounded like trash! How is that even a song? Its so chopped up like shes studdering! No bars no hook no chorus! Gurl needs to gtfoh with that trash and maybe take a tip or two from Tyga on how do put a song together.
