![]() ![]() ![]() When plaintiff Samuel Nicholas III became aware of that YouTube video months later, he recognised ‘that beat’ to be an unauthorised copy of his copyrighted work ‘Roll Call (Instrumental)'”. The lawsuits state: “The video interview reproduced an approximately eighteen second sound clip of ‘that beat’ while displaying an audio spectrum of it, labeled ‘blaq _ bouncebeat.wav’. Both the 2019 lawsuit – and the new one – cite a 2018 Genius News interview on YouTube in which Pigott talks about how he used what he calls “that beat” in the two Drake tracks, having previously used the same beat when producing for artists like Big Freedia and Magnolia Shorty. Nicholas’s lawsuit accuses producer Adam Pigott – aka Blaqnmild – of nabbing his beat for the Drake tracks and other productions he has worked on. That earlier track – and an instrumental version of it – both appear on his 2000 album ‘Vockah Redu And Tha Crew Can’t Be Stopped’. He claims that the beat which appears in Drake tracks ‘In My Feelings’ and ‘Nice For What’ was nabbed from his 2000 song ‘Roll Call’. Samuel Nicholas III – who performs as Sam Skully – first went legal in 2019. The new legal filing makes some extra claims about the co-producer of those tracks and his separate use of the allegedly infringing sample on records by Big Freedia.
