Colombian artist Feid and Universal Music Group face a copyright infringement lawsuit for allegedly using unauthorized samples in three songs, including the hit "Ferxxo 100."

Belgian composer Sebastien Graux claims his guitar loops were used without proper compensation or credit in Feid's songs "Ferxxo 100," "X20X," and "De Tanto Chimbiar." The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of California, also names Icon Music, Sky Rompiendo, and Johan Esteban Espinosa Cuervo (Jowan) as co-defendants.

According to the complaint, Graux met with Feid's team at Icon Music in Colombia (September 2021) and later shared audio files with producer Jowan in Miami. Despite promises of credit and compensation, Graux alleges he received neither. When terms were finally proposed by Sky Rompiendo's company, they were described as "one of the least favorable proposals" Graux had ever received.

"Ferxxo 100," released in June 2022, has garnered over 444 million Spotify streams and 245 million YouTube views. Graux, whose work has been featured by artists like Don Toliver, NBA YoungBoy, and Ricky Martin, seeks:

• Compensatory or statutory damages
• Producer credit on all three songs
• Attorney fees compensation

Multiple attempts to resolve the dispute outside of court were unsuccessful, leading to this legal action.
