Wiz Khalifa is being sued for more than $2 million by Max Gregory Warren, who claims Wiz and his team stole his idea for their hit song “Black and Yellow.” Warren says he wrote a song called “Pink N Yellow” and several versions with other colors in November 2007. But, he claims, Wiz jacked the idea before he was able to file for copyright protection in February 2008.
Warren’s suit accuses Wiz, his labels, the song’s producers and its publishers for fraud, copyright infringement and other infractions. It won’t matter that he didn’t file for a copyright right away, if he can prove that he created the material, the copyright is enforceable.
