<div>Check this out #Roommates a veteran performer #RonaldOslinBobbSemple is suing #KanyeWest #KidCudi and #TyDollaSign for stealing his vocals and using it in their song “Freeee (Ghost Town Pt. 2).”</div>
<div></div>
<div>According to @blast Ronald claimed they took his vocals from a song he recorded in 2002 called “The Spirit of Marcus Garvey.” The song was about Marcus Garvey speaking to an all-Black audience.</div>
<div></div>
<div>As you may recall, Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican man, who came to the U.S. and became the leader of the Pan-African movement in the early 1900s. He believed that all blacks should move to Africa so they wouldn’t have to deal with the racism and hatred towards them in America.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Kanye’s song does mention certain lyrics, such as the beginning when he states &#8220;May I say something to give you a true knowledge of yourself and life?&#8221; He then goes on to say &#8220;Man in the full knowledge of himself is a superb and supreme creature of creation.&#8221; This is similar to how Ronald talks at the beginning of every performance he does as Marcus Garvey. He would state something like &#8220;Brothers and sisters good evening, I am Marcus Garvey, and I am the leader of the Pan-African Movement.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>The lyrics does not necessarily copy each other, but Kanye did use Ronald&#8217;s voice and changed the lyrics for his song &#8220;Freee.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Ronald accused both Kanye and Kid Cudi of exploiting his voice and changing up the song for their joint album without asking Bobb for permission or even offering to pay.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Ronald filed a law suit for them taking his song and not paying him. He is suing for “unspecified damages and an injunction against them from continuing to profit off of his work.”</div>
