Sting vs. Juice Wrld

Sting's music has been sampled by a number of rappers, from Diddy to Nas & Sting is known for seeking the full amounts possible for the use of his work - seemingly more so when it's used without permission. Apparently that didn't stop Juice Wrld & his trash producer for using a 25 year old song composed by Sting & his longtime guitarist Dominic Miller as the foundation of his current hit, Lucid Dreams.

Sting has every right to expect compensation for his work. What's even more amusing is that if you look at the Twitter feed of the producer, it's all about paying an artist their due for their loops & beats. The only artist involved in this dispute it seems, is Sting.
