Price said he’s tried to reason with the producers, but they’ve been uncooperative and one lawyer threatened to sue him for slander. Indeed, Price showed BOSSIP a cease and desist letter between his legal team and Atlantic Records, warning the label that it faced litigation unless it immediately stopped using “Be Careful” and turned over financial records so they could assess money damages.

Price also showed BOSSIP a music analysis from expert Dr. Ronald Sadoff that says the songs are identical.

Price is now mulling a federal lawsuit against the producers, Atlantic Records and Cardi B. We’ve reached out to Boi-1da and Vinylz’s lawyer for comment.

The producer said he is still willing to come to the bargaining table with the label and the producers – but at some point, the gloves would come off.

“I’m ready to go to war,” Price said. “Nobody is taking nothing – zero from me.”
