A producer alleging thatDJ Khaledstole his beat and used it for the hit single "I Got the Keys," has filed a lawsuit against the radio personality.
TMZ reports that Chris Hill says he produced the beat in 2008 and it subsequently appeared on a project titled "Chris Hill Beats (Gangsta Boogie Vol 2)."
Hill claims that in October 2008, he met Khaled, born Khaled Mohamed Khaled, in an Atlanta nightclub and gave him a CD. The DJ never got back to him, but when the producer heard "I Got the Keys" off of Khaled's 2016 "Major Key" album, he immediately recognized his work.
Hill's lawsuit names Khaled,Sony Musicand several producers. He's asking to be awarded a share of the platinum-selling song's profits.

Chicago rapper Lil Bibby recently sat down for an interview with Vlad TV. He talked about how out of control the violence has gotten in his city and how young the offenders have gotten.
Bibby, who is 22, said that when he was coming up most kids started getting involved in gangs and murders at 16 or 17. Now they're doing it at 12 or 13.
President Trump tweeted in January that if the violence isn't brought under control he would send in federal troops.
"If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!" Trump wrote.
When asked his thoughts on Trump's comments Bibby said he agreed with him.
"Shit, it's sad to say ... send them motherfuckers in," the "You Ain't Gang" rapper told Vlad. "These my people. My people still out there doing the crazy. But shit, that's probably what you need to do."
Bibby believes that if gang members saw troops on their street it would curtail the violence dramatically.
"Motherfuckers ain't gon' be coming through doing no crazy shit. I'm telling you that," he reasoned. "As a matter of fact, on our blocks the police used to park right there. Wherever we was all hanging at they used to park right there. Because if they leave it'll be some motherfucking shots fired.
"So, that's the only reason how you can stop the violence ... if you put them people out there. But soon as they leave and the people start finding out their schedule, that's the times they gonna try to come through and do that crazy shit. But if you put them people out there, ain't gon' be no crime."
According to HeyJackass.com, a website that monitors crime in Chicago, there have been62 homicidesand a total of372 people shot in the city so far this year, and we're just over a month in.

After time to reflect and possibly because of public backlash, the group Migos have issued an apology for negative comments they made about ILoveMakonnen during a Rolling Stone interview.
As we previously reported, Takeoff, Quavo and Offset were asked about the support Makonnen has gotten since coming out as gay in January.
"That's because the world is fucked up," Offset told RS.
Quavo questioned how could the singer have possibly dealt drugs if he was gay. "He first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that," he said. "That's wack, bro."
The group later issued a joint apology via their official Instagram and Twitter pages.
"We always been about being original and staying true. Staying true to yourself goes a long way," the statement begins . "We are all fans of Makonnen's music and we wish he didn't feel like he ever had to hide himself. We feel the world is fucked up that people feel like they have to hide and we're asked to comment on someone's sexuality. We have no problem with anyone's sexual preference. We love all people, gay or straight and we apologize if we offended anyone."

On Tuesday, January 20, 2016, ILoveMakonnencame out of the closet via Twitter. The "Tuesday" singer said he felt it was time the world knew he was homosexual.
"Someone said to me next time they see me, they was gonna fuck me. I said next time I see me, I'm gonna love me up," he wrote on the social networking site. "As a fashion icon, I can't tell u about everybody else's closet, I can only tell u about mine, and it's time I've come out. And since y'all love breaking news, here's some old news to break, I'm gay. And now I've told u about my life, maybe u can go life yours."
In an interview published byRolling Stone on Wednesday, February 8th, Atlanta rap trio Migoswere asked how they felt about the support Makonnen has gotten since his announcement.
"Damn, Makonnen! They supported him?" Quavo asked.
Offset chimed in, saying "That's because the world is fucked up."
"This world is not right," Takeoff added.
Quavo wanted to make it clear that the group wasn't homophobic, but questioned whether Makonnen could have actually lived the drug dealer lifestyle he sang about as a gay man.
"He first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that," he said. "That's wack, bro."
What are your thoughts? Does being gay mean you can't have street credibility? And should an artist's fan base abandon them for admitting they're a lesbian or homosexual?
