Sir Mix-A-Lot is facing legal action over his hit "Baby Got Back" thanks to the song's sample that's featured on Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda."
According to court documents obtained by The Jasmine Brand, a DJ named David Ford is suing Mix-A-Lot, claiming he helped create the beat and provided the turntable "scratching" for "Baby Got Back."
Apparently, he had no idea Sir Mix-A-Lot failed to give him producing credits until he heard the song's inclusion on Nicki's "Anaconda." It was then that Ford investigated and found that Sir Mix-A-Lot had registered a copyright listing himself as the sole creator of the song.
Ford also says he helped produce a number of other songs from Sir Mix-A-Lot's albums "Mack Daddy" and "Chief Boot Knocka." He's demanding money for damages as well as profits from the songs he helped create.
