Drake: No ‘merit’ to ‘Marvin’s Room’ lawsuit
When Drake utilised a midnight-hour drunk-dial from a female buddy as the foundation for his single “Marvin’s Area,” the bitter torch song became an immediate hit when it trended on Twitter, sparked several addresses and racked up millions of views on YouTube. But now the song is at the center of a new lawsuit targeting the Canadian rapper-singer.
Ericka Lee — who claims she had a romantic and company romantic relationship with Drizzy -– filed a lawsuit in California’s federal court on Thursday alleging she was the voice on the phone that was used for the track.
Lee is suing Drizzy for excluding her from sharing any co-writer royalties on the single. She claims their partnership (each enterprise and pleasure) lasted from early 2010 to mid-2011, during which they supposedly traded poems, song lyrics and mentioned creative projects.
