Davis states that he wrote the song with the help of Johnathan Nezey and Daruis Martin.
He claims Nipsey never obtained permission from nor paid any royalties to any of his collaborators to include the song "Rap N*****" on "Victory Lap".
In a creditor's claim filed in the estate, Davis writes that Nezey and Martin have "contractually granted me equitable entitlement to royalties as joint authors of "Rap N*****."
Davis doesn't say how much he's seeking, but wants accounting done to find out how much money "Victory Lap" has pulled in.
