Migos “Walk It Talk It” featuring Drake was one of the biggest single of 2018 and one of the most memorable videos of the year as well. The song has landed Migos in court. Migos are being sued over the track by a rapper who claims they ripped off his original version he put out over a decade ago.
Leander C. Pickett a.k.a. M.O.S. has filed a lawsuit against Migos, according to TMZ. M.O.S claims to have created the song “Walk It Talk It” all the way back in 2007. It appeared on his DJ Folk-hosted mixtape It’s Like a Movie the following year, and does have a very similar chorus as the Migos track.
Documents obtained by TMZ show that Pickett claims he first heard the Culture II track and noticed the similarities to his in January. He alleges it uses a “substantial portion” of his song. Picket filed a copyright on his song two months later and has since issued a lawsuit against Migos and Capital Records. He is also requesting the group be stopped from performing the track.
This is also very interesting because when most Atlanta natives heard Migos “Walk It, Talk It” from Culture II back in January their first thought the local Atlanta classic hit from 2003 “Walk It” from Big Ommp group Intoxicated ft Baby D. The songs in question are below. Do you think there is a case here?
