Jazz musician Jimmy Smith’s estate is suing Drake for use of the monologue in front of ‘Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2’ without permission. Jimmy is no more but his team has accused that Drizzy used the 35 second clip from from his 1982 song, ‘Jimmy Smith Rap’ without any permission and on top that, lied about it in the Nothing Was The Same album liner notes that it was properly licensed. The defendants are Drake, Cash Money Records and a few others concerned with the recording and the compensation being asked is $300,000.
