AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj has been facing an allegation ahead of the release of "Barbie World" ft. Ice Spice. Rapper JasonMartin, formerly known as Problem, alleged that the "Anaconda" hitmaker stole the song idea from Saweetie.
Jason brought up the claim via Instagram Live. Claiming that he was a writer on the tune that originally belonged to Saweetie, he said, "Y'all gon' give me what I deserve." He added, "Now, if Saweetie don't wanna trip, that's on her … But we crafted a record that was sent over to Nicki to hop on to submit to the Barbie soundtrack."
"She said she was gonna do it … Then all of a sudden, a new version was created. Yes, it's a sample, you can do what you want. But n***a, you can't hear one thing, say you're gonna do this, then go do your version. It ain't happening like that," the emcee went on explaining. "Anybody that's in this business knows that that's not how this works."
Not stopping there, Jason also used Twitter to get things off his chest. "As a writer on this, I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie," he wrote. "It's sad to see that the original artist has been pushed off a song that was her idea and was meant for both of them. I have no side in this, but I will be compensated."
"If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie s**t, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of," the 38-year-old further argued. "Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please no I don't scare easy."
"Barbie World", which comes from the upcoming "Barbie" movie, is slated for a Friday, June 23 release. The track itself samples Aqua's 1997 hit, "Barbie Girl".
