Producer Sues Swizz Beatz For A Milli Over ‘Drink ‘n My 2 Step’



Music career not taking off? Sue someone for something you agreed to do!
Some unknown former Swizz Beatz flunky is suing Egypt’s daddy for not paying him enough for contributing to Cassidy’s 2007 single “Drink ‘n My 2 Step,” TMZ Reports.
The songwriter in question — named Antwann Frost — filed the lawsuit two days ago … claiming Swizz hit him up in 2007 to help put together a hit single for rapper Cassidy’s then incomplete album.
According to the docs — obtained by TMZ — Swizz assembled the “drum patterns” and Frost created “all of the other original musical components that shaped and defined” the track that would become a chart-topping hit … spawning remixes by Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Chingy.
The song was released soon after — at which point, Frost claims, Swizz lowballed him with a $5,000 cash offer and 5% ownership of the song … while Swizz and Cassidy got the bulk share.
Frost rejected the offer … and now dude’s suing for $1,500,000 — claiming he deserves equal partnership in the song with Swizz and Cass. No word yet from Camp Swizz.
Really? C’mon dude! We know New Money Swizzie’s can do better than $5Gs. But, the song wasn’t THAT big of a hit! It didn’t even go Gold. CASSIDY didn’t make $1.5 mil off of this song. Neither did his label.
Antwann better go reassess his math! By the way, in 2007, shouldn’t he have had a contract or split sheet to make sure this didn’t happen??
