Rapper Juice WRLD has been allegedly threaten with a lawsuit by Sting for sampling the song "Shape of my Heart."
The Rock legend Sting gave Juice WRLD props for his huge hit with "Lucid Dreams", and even joked during a tribute at the 2016 Advertising Week in NYC by saying that it will "put my grand kids through college," TMZ reported.
"Shape of My Heart" co-writer Dominic Miller added, "We're really happy for his success and, of course, for us too. I thought it was the most intelligent version of that riff that I've ever heard." But Sting's tone has allegedly changed after Juice WRLD's manager responded to Sting's comments:
