RHOA Drama is Popping off between Kandi and Kim. Remember the song was recorded on April
30 and May 1 of 2009. Burruss also sued TuneCore, which distributes music to
online retailers. Well Kandi said enough was enough and has now sued Kim over
use of the song, alleging copyright infringement. Kandi claims Kim infringed
upon her copyright by unlawfully licensing, distributing and selling the song,
which she wrote and Kim “sang” on.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in the United States District Court
of the Northern District of Georgia, Burruss and co-writer Rodney Richards are
seeking “damages for copyright infringement due to Defendants’ unauthorized and
unlawful licensing, distribution and sale of Plaintiffs’ creative works, namely
a sound recording embodying a performance of a musical composition entitled
‘Tardy for the Party. ‘”
The song, in which Zolciak’s daughter Brielle gets songwriting
credit, sold 102,000 copies, the lawsuit said.
In a statement , Zolciak says in response to the legal action:
“This
is nothing short of a publicity stunt, I find this lawsuit funny yet sad.
Coming after me now and this song is 4 years old? I have in fact overpaid Kandi
and have documents to prove it and my legal team will handle this accordingly.”
Kandi
is being represented by none other than Phaedra Parks, her Atlanta
The
reunion tapes this week, which should be interesting.
