Lawyers for rapper Lil Wayne are seeking more time to turn over documents in response to a lawsuit that accuses the award-winning recording artist of copyright infringement.
A federal lawsuit filed in May claims Lil Wayne didn't have permission to sample a song by singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel.
The suit says Lil Wayne's record label, Cash Money Records, tried but failed to negotiate a license to use Swanepoel's song "Once" before millions of people downloaded the rapper's song "I Feel Like Dying."
A court filing Tuesday by Lil Wayne's attorneys asks a judge in New Orleans to extend a Friday deadline for turning over documents requested by lawyers for the company that published Swanepoel's song.
Lil wayne was also recently sued sued by a music publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones song "Play with Fire." Abkco Music Inc. claimed that Wayne released an alternate version of the song -- that they're calling "explicit, sexist and offensive" -- without permission. The link to the song is below.
