Mike Tyson is being sued by the producer of the 1998 Jay-Z, DMX and Ja Rule song “Murdergram” for allegedly featuring the track in an Instagram video promoting his fight against Jake Paul last year without permission.

The claims come in a legal complaint filed Thursday (Aug. 7) by Ty Fyffe, who co-wrote and produced “Murdergram” for Jay-Z’s 1998 film Streets Is Watching. While the song, released by Murder Inc., features Jay (Shawn Carter), DMX (Earl Simmons) and Ja Rule (Jeffrey Atkins), none of those artists or their representatives are involved in the lawsuit.
