Jay Z and Timbaland Say Enough Is Enough; Lawyers Ask Judge To Toss “Big Pimpin” Lawsuit

Jay Z and Timbaland continue to battle an Egyptian songwriter over their hit single “Big Pimpin.”

In 2007, Egyptian artist Osama Ahmed Fahmy claimed the rappers illegally sampled his uncle Baligh Hamdi’s song “Khosara Khosara.”

The case eventually wound through the courts, and in 2015, a judge ruled in favor of Jay Z and Timbaland, noting the rapper’s paid EMI over $100,000 to clear the sample.

However, Osama Ahmed Fahmy is refused to go down without a fight and filed an appeal over the original ruling against him.
