A Washington, D.C. production company has filed an $18 million lawsuit over the rights to the music on the hit song "Bottoms Up" by Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj.

Derrick Price, Doc Mob Records and IHip Hop Music filed the lawsuit against Trey Songz, Atlantic Records, Kodak, manager Gee Robertson, producer Kane Beatz and others. According to the lawsuit, which was filed February 2nd in the Southern District of New York, Doc Mob hired producer Milton James aka "Tony Scales" to produce the original, copyrighted track for "Bottoms Up" for his company, Doc Mob Records.

Price and Doc Mob further claim the track was originally produced by James in Price's home studio. At some point, James teamed with producer Kane Beatz who added production to the song, which was eventually used by Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj.

The lawsuit claims that "Bottoms Up" was contained on Trey Songz' hit album Passion, Pain and Pleasure but only listed Kane Beatz as producer of the song.

Doc Mob's Derrick Price alleges that he sent multiple cease-and-desist letters to Atlantic Records and Trey Songz, but they were allegedly ignored by the defendants in the case.

Kodak has been dragged into the $18 million dollar lawsuit, for using the song in an advertising campaign featuring Trey Songz.

Compton, California rapper The Game is celebrating an operation that went successful to help his daughter with an unknown condition.

The rapper took to Twitter yesterday to reveal that his three-month-old daughter, Cali Dream Taylor, was undergoing surgery at Cedar's Sinai Pediatric Ward, for a condition that has worsened over the past several months.

The Game, who landed in Vienna, Austria just hours ago, lamented that he couldn't be in the hospital to support his daughter and the child's mother. "She's only 3 months old so it's extra HARD to fathom but through God's strife she is already healed, still I pray that all goes as planned," the rapper tweeted before his young daughter went in for the surgical procedure.

Afterwards, Game was overjoyed to see that the surgery was successful.

"Cali Dream Taylor a.k.a. Superwoman," Game tweeted. "Strong lil chubby baby ha ha ha... Again, thank God as well as her mother & all of u 4 the blessings."
