Swizz Sued Over ‘Drink n’ My 2 Step’
Posted by Media Outrage on October 22nd, 2010
Swizz Beatz is the target of a new lawsuit:
Alicia Keys‘ new hubby Swizz Beatz is a profit-hogging fraud — this according to a jilted songwriter who claims he co-produced the song “My Drink ‘n My 2 Step” … but got nothing to show for it.
The songwriter in question — named Antwann Frost – filed the lawsuit two days ago … claiming Swizz hit him up in 2007 to help put together a hit single for rapper Cassidy’s then incomplete album.
According to the docs — obtained by TMZ — Swizz assembled the “drum patterns” and Frost created “all of the other original musical components that shaped and defined” the track that would become a chart-topping hit … spawning remixes by Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Chingy.
The song was released soon after — at which point, Frost claims, Swizz lowballed him with a $5,000cash offer and 5% ownership of the song … while Swizz and Cassidy got the bulk share.
Frost rejected the offer … and now dude’s suing for $1,500,000 — claiming he deserves equal partnership in the song with Swizz and Cass. No word yet from Camp Swizz.
Mediaoutrage- Wow only $5,000???

Establised artist know that a dude off the street is hungry he’ll eat a goat boogers to get a record deal. They came at him and since there was no contract they fucked him. Happens to stupid people all the time
