Rapper demanding compensation over GTA 5
Language »
Rapper Daz Dillinger has called on Rockstar to offer him compensation for the unapproved use of his tracks in Grand Theft Auto 5.
TMZ reports that Rockstar initially offered Dillinger a total of $4,271 USD to use 'C-Walk' and 'Nothin' But the Cavi Hit' for the game's West Coast Classics radio station.
Allegedly the offer was turned down but Rockstar went on to use the tracks anyway "without paying him a cent".
Dillinger has asked for Rockstar to make him a better offer or pull the game from stores, saying that it's about "respecting an artist's work. Rockstar didn't do that here and I can't let them get away with it."
Dillinger and his attorneys have given Rockstar 14 days to comply with their demands or strike a deal.
