Earlier this month Kendrick Lamar added a verse to Jeezy’s
triumphant “Holy Ghost.” Now the song’s
been removed from Youtube and Spotify.
Why? An impending lawsuit from a Dallas preacher.
The song begins with an exhortative sample of a speech by
T.D. Jakes, a televangelist bishop: “I got some chatter, but I’m
still on fire. I got some threats, but I’m still on fire.”
Now he’s got a lawyer, too.
According to a post on Jakes’ Facebook page, “The
‘Holy Ghost’ remix by Jeezy featuring
Kendrick Lamar was produced without the knowledge or consent of T.D. Jakes.”
Jakes continues: “We are taking the
necessary legal actions to stop the unauthorized use of T.D. Jakes’
intellectual property.”
Last week Lamar’s spokesperson Ray Alba
told Dallas News that he had no knowledge of any lawsuit.
