Bad Bunny Lawsuit Claims ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ Track Stole Uncleared Sample From Nigerian Artist
Bad Bunny faces a copyright lawsuit claiming a song on his 'Un Verano Sin Ti' album featured an unlicensed sample from a Nigerian artist.
Bad Bunny is facing a lawsuit over allegations that a track from his chart-topping Un Verano Sin Ti featured an unlicensed sample from a Nigerian artist – and that the superstar’s reps later “stonewalled” efforts to resolve the problem. In a copyright case filed May 2 in Los Angeles federal court, attorneys for the artist Dera (Ezeani Chidera Godfrey) claim that Bad Bunny’s “Enséñame a Bailar” illegally sampled from a 2019 track called “Empty My Pocket.” In his lawsuit, Dera says Bad Bunny’s song was essentially built on top of his “Empty My Pocket” – that the usage is so “extensive” that the sampling itself is “beyond question.”
