DJ Mustard(real name Dijon McFarlane) is being sued by his former friend, over allegedly stealing tracks he produced — that turned into big hits for Big Sean, YG and Tyga— and not paying him a dime, along with threatening to blacklist him in the industry if he attempted to tell anyone.
theJasmineBRAND.comexclusively reports Mikely Adamaka Mike Freefiled a federal lawsuit against his childhood friend Mustard, claiming he stole his beats.
Reportedly, the musicproducer explains that 4 years ago, both him and Mustard were aspiring producers. He says that Mustard noticed his talent and approached him telling him he could makethem both a lot of money for Mike Free’s tracks.
According to the court docs, Mikely says that Mustard said he could take his musicand give to artists to add their vocals which would bring in lots of income. The verbal agreement was that Mustard would give Free a producer credit and they would split the profits from each song.
Allegedly, around July 2011, he emailed Mustardthe first track which would later turn into Tyga’ssong“Rack City”, followed by another track that turned into “I’m Different” by 2 Chainz.
However, he claims things turned sour when Mustardrefused to honor their agreement and took full credit as producer for both songs. Mikely says he asked Mustardwhen he would be getting paid for the music and Mustardallegedly told him if he told anyone he produced the songshe would have him blacklisted in the music industry.
He says from 2013 to Summer 2014 he continued providing tracks to Mustardincluding: “My Hitta” & “Who Do You Love” by YG, “Show Me” by Kid Ink, “Don’t Tell Em” by Jeremih, “I Don’t F*ck With You” by Big Seanand “Party Aint a Party” by Jamie Foxx.
Mikely says all of his work should have resulted in the ultimate success story as a unknown producer, but due to the betrayal by DJ mustardhe has been screwed out of tons of profit and is still an unknown name on the music industry.
He has filed his federal lawsuit demanding the ownership in the various songsthat he produced along with all accounting from Mustardon the profits made and a court to order he turn overthe money he is owed from each song. See the court docs.
