Mike Epps Started Oprah’s Beef With Ice Cube? I CLUB SHAY SHAY

@TheRealMikeEpps : “Did you put her in one of your rap songs?”

T-Pain says the people who took a cut of his No. 1 hit "Buy U A Drank" were making 8 cents every three months. He was making $100,000 a night performing it.
In the video below, he tells Shannon Sharpe how that happened, and how a $1.7 million Bugatti ate the last of his money.
The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007. T-Pain worked in a line from Lil Scrappy and a piece of a Lil Jon record. He says he was "paying homage."
Then their publishing companies came for a share of the publishing and the masters.
"So while they were making eight cents every three months, I was making 100 grand a night off of performing it."
"Be greedy, but you're not gonna get what I'm doing."
The money from the song didn't stay with him either. Shannon brings up the Bugatti he bought early in his career for $1.7 million.
"When I bought that Bugatti, that was the last bit of my money and I had no idea."
His accountants told him they might have to sell his house. He said it was paid for. They said "not anymore."
He says people around him were stealing, and he didn't care. "I had so much money that it was just like, why would I care?"
Then his granddad pitched him pants with the boxers already sagging out. T-Pain gave him $150,000 he didn't have. His granddad never made a single pair. T-Pain says Balenciaga sells them now.
In September, T-Pain sued Akon's label Konvict for $489,047 in royalties he says it owes him, the AJC reported.
The case for the publishers: T-Pain used lines from their songs, and that usually means splitting the rights.
So should the people whose lines he borrowed get a cut of "Buy U A Drank"?
