Bad Bunny faces a lawsuit for copyright infringement on his hit song “Safaera”, the Grammy winner and one of the fan favorites who will now face the Puerto Rican interpreter.

It was the company AOM Music, Inc. that filed the lawsuit for the unauthorized use of three songs known collectively as “Playero Works” for their “unauthorized incorporation of the defendants” of the mixtapes that emerged in the early 90’s and they became an important influence on Latin music.

How much will Bad Bunny pay for the demand for “Safaera?

The accusers are seeking compensation of $ 150,000 for the copyright infringement, in addition to payment of the costs of the legal process.

“This is a copyright infringement action arising out of the plaintiffs ‘ownership of three copyrighted musical works:’ Besa tu cuerpo ‘,’ Chocha con bicho ‘and’ Keep dancing ‘(collectively, the’ Playero Works’), and the unauthorized incorporation of the Playero Works defendants into the hit song ‘Safaera’, for which no license or authorization was obtained, ”they stated in the lawsuit last Monday, September 27 in a court in California.

Bad Bunny is not the only one involved, as the document also mentions the musicians Tainy, Randy, Jowell, Ñengo Flow and DJ Orma, along with the companies of Rimas Entertainment LLC, CDA Music Group Inc., DJ Negro Publishing, EMI Blackwood Music Inc., Songs of Universal, Inc., Risamar Publishing, The Royalty Network, Inc., Teynor Music and Universal Songs of Polygram International Inc.

According to the plaintiffs, the song’s contestants knew they needed to get the usage rights. “It is demonstrated by the fact that, for example … Missy Elliot is recognized as (co) author of ‘Safaera’ due to the sampling of her hit song ‘Get Ur Freak On'”, quotes the text, referring to the occasion in which the song was dropped from Spotify on May 14 to add the rapper to the credits.
