Dem Franchise Boyz’s Parlae Claps Back at Fat Joe’s Use of Lyrics Accusation

In a recent Instagram video, rapper Parlae of Dem Franchise Boyz addressed Fat Joe’s claims that the group copied his music without permission. Fat Joe had previously mentioned similarities between Dem Franchise Boyz’s “Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It” and Young Dro’s “Shoulder Lean” to Terror Squad’s “Lean Back.”

Parlae, however, vehemently denied the accusations, stating, “I just seen a clip of Fat Joe’s interview talking about n***as biting his music and taking his style, and he’s gonna sue n***as,” he said. “I’m from the South, n***a — we don’t bite New York n***as. We didn’t hear ‘Lean Back’ and say we gonna make a song like that. N***a, we said ‘lean’ not ‘lean back.'”

In a caption accompanying the video, Parlae also took a jab at D4L’s Fabo, referencing their previous disputes over the creation of snap music. The caption read, “1st it was @iamfabo now it’s @fatjoe [facepalm emoji],” he wrote. “Which 1 of yall was responsible for LEAN WIT IT, I Forgot [thinking emoji] I Guess when you use the same word as a person and your song become a hit, you got the idea from them [shrug emoji].”
