Fat Joe And French Montana Sued Over “All The Way Up”

Fat Joe, Remy Ma, French Montana, and Infrared have been served with a copyright lawsuit over the 2017 hit song “All the Way Up,” The Blast reports and documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. The Miami-based rapper Fly Havana (real name: Eric Elliott) claims that his original unfinished 2015 version of “All the Way Up”—a collaboration with Infrared—is nearly “identical to the released version,” including the hook, the lyrics, the vocal melody, and the overall flow. Listen to both Elliott’s unfinished version and the final version below.

The lawsuit claims that Infrared introduced the song to Fat Joe before ceasing communication with Elliott. After the song was released, Elliott claimed that Fat Joe paid him $5,000 and promised more money, which was never delivered. Later at a live interview event, Fat Joe publicly credited Elliott: “Shout out Fly Havana, he worked on the record.” Elliott is seeking credit for co-writing the song, royalties from the song, co-ownership of the song, and more.
