Astly's team alleges that the rapper had no right to impersonate his voice.
Rick Astley is suing Yung Gravy, accusing the rapper of impersonating his voice on the song"Betty ."Rick Astley, best known for his hit single "Never Gonna Give You Up" is suing rapper Yung Gravy for allegedly impersonating his voice, Billboard reports.
In a lawsuit filed on Jan. 26, Astly claims that in Gravy's song "Betty ," which stood at No.. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 last year, the rapper imitated his voice without legal authorization. "In an effort to capitalize off of the immense popularity and goodwill of Mr. Astley, defendants … conspired to include a deliberate and nearly indistinguishable imitation of Mr. Astley’s voice throughout the song," Astley’s lawyers, according to Billboard. "The public could not tell the difference. The imitation of Mr. Astley’s voice was so successful the public believed it was actually Mr. Astley singing.
Representatives for Yung Gravy and Rick Astley did not immediately return FOX TV Station's request for comment. Gravy's legal team alleges that they were within their legal rights to use the instrumentals to "Give You Up," which Astley does not own but apparently not Astley's actual vocals. "A license to use the original underlying musical composition does not authorize the stealing of the artist’s voice in the original recording," Astley’s legal team stated. "So, instead, they resorted to theft of Mr. Astley’s voice without a license and without agreement.
