Where fame and success go, lawsuits are soon to follow. Drake has learned that as the singer/rapper is facing a lawsuit from Playboy Enterprises for what they claim is a copyright infringement in his breakthrough hit ‘Best I Ever Had’. The lawsuit, filed against Drake, Cash Money Records, Universal Music Group and Universal Music Group Distribution, asserts that the song illegally samples Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds’ 1975 song ‘Fallin in Love’, the rights of which are owned by Playboy. According to documents “Each Defendant either knew, or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording ['Fallin in Love'] was protected by copyright. Each Defendant continues to infringe upon Plaintiff’s right in and to the copyrighted sound recording.”
