Ahmen Fahmy is suing Jay Z, Timbaland and their record companies for stealing ‘Big Pimpin”s sample from his uncle, Baligh Hamdi’s, 1957 track ‘Khosara, Khosara.’

During the trial’s opening remarks, Hamdi estate lawyer Pete Ross argued that Hov and Timbaland needed special permission to sample Khosara since they were putting it in a sexually explicit song. While such “moral rights” are a well-established legal doctrine in Egypt, they aren’t in the United States.
