A man named Solomon Clanton is claiming 2 Chainz, Offset and YG ripped off his song, with their song 'Proud.'
should not be proud of one of their hit songs ... so claims another artist who says the rappers straight-up jacked his work!!!claims in a new lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- he released a song called"Proud" way back in 2015 ... 3 years BEFORE 2Chainz, Offset and YG collab'd on their own track called"Proud."
Clanton -- who goes by the stage name Slugga -- claims in his suit, the 2 songs include similar lyrics and music, including the hook and thematic elements. Slugga notes the 2 songs have identical hooks,"I'm just tryin' to make my mama proud," as well as the same call-and-response technique in the lyrics and a spoken-word intro.
According to the suit, Clanton also claims the 2 tracks have the same climactic moment and the same 2/4 time signature of two beats per measure. Clanton wants profits from the Def Jam song, as well as an order from a judge prohibiting 2 Chainz's"Proud" from getting spins.
