A Louisiana rapper is reportedly suing Quavo for allegedly ripping off his 2015 track. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, rapper Lamount London, also known as L.Mont, claims he opened for 2Chainz and the Migos at New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre back in February 2016.
After the show, London says he handed Quavo a CD featuring his track, ‘Bubble Gum,’ a bouncy record with a NOLA vibe that he recorded in 2015. Furthermore, Lamount Londonstates he never heard back from Quavo after that.
However, HotNewHipHop reports that two years later, Quavo released his debut studio album, ‘Quavo Huncho.’ London immediately noticed a track titled, ‘Bubble Gum’ and believed it mirrored his own. The artist claims the lyrics, arrangement, and melody are his original work and is now seeking damages.
As of now, neither Quavo nor his team has made any public comments regarding the allegations.
The Roommates jumped in to share their thoughts on both tracks under The Shade Room’s Instagram report, with many social media users agreeing that the songs don’t sound alike.
Instagram user @bombay_____ wrote, “They not the same song at all or lyrics for that matter ”
Instagram user @lissawissa_ wrote, “There is no type of connection lmao.”
While Instagram user @traslick_ wrote, “The gag is RASHEEDA should be suing both of them ”
Then Instagram user @i_dontgaf_ wrote, “ let’s be real nobody listen to neither one of those songs.”
Another Instagram user @richhvonnn_ wrote, “Maybe im tripping but those do NOT sound alike so are they suing bc he said bubblegum
