Back in March of 2010, we posted an article entitled “MarVo, Ludacris & The “Sex Room” Saga” (the post has since been removed) in which we detailed the saga between MarVo, Ludacris and who owned the “Sex Room” song. Allegedly, the track was first written and recorded by MarVo and producer Kajun in the year 2009, but the song was then sold to Ludacris by Kajun behind Vo’s back. Now Vo’s taking Luda to court, claiming he was never compensated for his track and concept.
Says TMZ:
Ludacris straight jacked several lyrics for his hit song “Sex Room” — so says a rapper from Chicago who claims he’s the real author … and now he’s filed a lawsuit.
The rapper — a guy named Marvo — claims he concocted the original concept for “Sex Room” back in 2009 … a year before Luda released it with Trey Songz.
Marvo claims he’d been working with a producer named Kajun — but the dude sold the song to Ludacris behind his back.
Marvo says Ludacris changed parts of the song … but released it with many of the original lyrics, including multiple lines written by Marvo — such as, “Welcome to my sex room” and “It’s a private party.”
Marvo says he hasn’t gotten a penny for his tune and is now suing Ludacris and Trey Songz for an unspecified amount of loot.
The song was released as a single from Luda’s 2010 album, Battle of the Sexes.
