T.D. Jakes Sues Jeezy For Unauthorized Sample – Tha Wire [VIDEO]

Today in Tha Wire T.D. Jakes takes legal action against Jeezy over “Holy Ghost” sample and C-Murder issues letter about relationship with Master P.

Bishop T.D. Jakes recently revealed on Facebook that he’s preparing to sue rapper Jeezy for an unauthorized sample on his album Seen It All, according to AllHipHop.

The ‘Holy Ghost’ remix by Jeezy featuring Kendrick Lamar was produced without the knowledge or consent of T.D. Jakes, TDJ Enterprises, Dexterity Music or its associated companies. We are taking the necessary legal actions to stop the unauthorized use of T.D. Jakes’ intellectual property.

The famous preacher/author/film maker is taking legal action against the Atlanta MC over the sample on the remix of “Holy Ghost” featuring Kendrick Lamar.  The sample Jakes says, stems from his speech “Don’t Let The Chatter Stop You.”

Finally, as you know Corey “C-Murder” Miller is serving a life sentence at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for the murder of 16-year-old Steven Thomas.  C was convicted in 2009 and has maintained his innocence.  However being locked-up has taken its toll on his relationship with his brother Percy “Master P” Miller.

About a week ago C dropped the Master P diss track “All I Wanted 2 Be Was A Soldier,” calling his brother a hypocrite and disloyal.  Here's a listen to the track, courtesy of XXL Magazine:

Earlier this year in March, a similar Master P diss dropped when Lil Boosie released the single “Came 2 Da Can” featuring his former Angola cellmate C-Murder.  When P got wind of the track, he said it was “disappointing” issued an exclusive statement to allhiphop.com to share his thoughts about the song, Lil Boosie and his brother.

“I want to see Lil Boosie get a second chance and take over this Hip Hop
game as a Louisiana street artist but getting on that song with C was
disappointing. Honestly, the beat was wack and outdated. He gotta know that
C has a problem and we’re dealing with family issues. I’ve always put C and
family first. It’s funny when I seen the press conference and Boosie talked
about doing a project with C but he said it would be “down the line”
because he got “bigger business to do” like take care of his family. And I
respect that. But I’ve made C a priority while taking care of all of our
families in good and bad times, but he got more love for his friends. My
grandfather told me, “If you don’t have a dollar, you don’t got a friend” I
told C that you shouldn’t be putting out negative music while you’re
fighting a life sentence. They’re going to use those words against you. I
taught him the music business, it is sad to hear him talk negative about
his family and take advise from people who are in it to just get what they
can get from him even while he is incarcerated. I love my brother but at
times he can be ungrateful and disrespectful. I didn’t look at the record
as being a diss, i thought it was more hilarious, like a comedy then
gangsta rap.

I’ve spent millions of dollars towards his legal fees in
fighting all of his cases. Even when I’ve told him, “No”, I still came
through. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is. I’m not God, I can’t
break somebody out of jail. I wasn’t at the club with him that night, he
put himself in that predicament, he just beat two cases before that, in
which I paid for and supported. It’s funny how when I say “Yes” 99 times
it’s all love but I say “No” once, then it’s all hate. I know he’s innocent
but he needs to grow up and face reality. He chose to put his friends over
his family and his freedom. Why isn’t he angry with them, none of them
turned themselves in, only testified against him, nobody else gave him a
dollar for his case, visit him in the can or put money on his books. I’m
the on that should be upset but I’m not, I never received a birthday card,
Christmas card, belt, wallet or anything; not even a thank you.”

“As a man, we have to be responsible for our own actions. I realize this
is not about love, this is about money. And this often happens to families
that are dealing with relatives with addictions, lack of education and
financial literacy. I was taught that wise man learns but a fool never
will.” At the end of the day, all family fuss and fight but when it get
real only your family gon be there for you. I’ve been dealing with this
for 10 years now with C, but never really responded to it. It’s just a
sad day for our family, It hurts but this shouldn’t be media gossip.

“God gives His strongest soldiers the toughest battles. Today, I’m
growing up as a man, I will no longer enable immature, unappreciative
people in my life, even if they’re family. The money that I was sending to
lawyers, instead I’ll continue to donate and help even more underprivileged
kids that would appreciate my love and support. I forgive C, I hope my
brother will pick up a bible, I will always love him and keep him in
prayer. Just to keep it 100, I would never do a song with Webbie talking
bad about Boosie even if we has just mad at him. I got love for the lil
homies and I want to see them do well. Nobody is perfect, we all got issues
we’re dealing with. I can’t change people, I can only change me. And I’m
going to continue doing what’s right. There is no limit to what you can do
when you put God first, educate yourself and grow up. This is just
motivation to me, the devil can’t stop what God has planned for The Miller
Dynasty… No Limit Forever.”

It shouldn’t be us against us, it should be us against the world. Look at
the love i have in my heart, on my new record “Let it Happen Twice” from
“Return of the Ice Cream Man”

“Im Screaming Free C Murder
MyBrother Innocent Homie, I Dont Mess with you Haters, Cause Most You Haters
Be Phony, I Say Love Your Hitter, Hug Your Hitter, When Boosie Touchdown We

Gon Flood These Rivers”

Adding more salt to the wound, C-Murder has also penned an exclusive letter and sent to AllHipHop:

“All I wanted to be was a soldier, like P.   We all must learn lessons before dying. My ultimate lesson was giving loyalty to those undeserving. Yes, I learned the hard way. Incarceration has opened my eyes to see deceit through pitch black darkness. I was taught and raised that your bloodline will be there through thick and thin. Even when the entire wicked world and fake friends condemn and abandon you at your darkest moments. And being in prison for life, means until you die. Until your heart stops beating and your body turns cold.

This is a time to come together and support, unconditionally. Not for finger-pointing and ridicule. Even as I truthfully and passionately claim my innocence, I’m forced to entertain the blasphemy and silly lies of the one I believed in and looked up to the most. Who not only betrayed me but turned his back on my kids. My three angels who keeps blood pumping from my heart, throughout my veins. My sincere message to you as you read this is: Trust no one but yourself. No-one deserves your total loyalty, a smile can be deceiving in many ways. Be your own leader. People change and you can never know someone’s TRU identity or agenda.

I will never change, break or fold. I will always be TRU. It’s my life, my way of thinking. My World!

If my last breath was to come this minute, I’ll be buried as a man among men. Loyal to a fault. But I will rest in peace. Feel Me?

I am smarter and much wiser now. Why? Because I have truly learned my “Lesson Before Dying”

These are the truest words I ever said.”
