Juicy J is the target of a lawsuit over the video for his breakout solo hit “Bandz a Make Her Dance.”
According to TheJasmineBrand.com, photographer Mahad Dar and Creative Dream Productions, who worked on the video, are suing Juicy J and his label Columbia Records over copyright infringement, alleging that it was released without their consent.
Dar, who claims that he was the sole owner of the footage, is arguing that Columbia never inked a deal with him over the video and later released it without alerting him.

To make matters worse for Dar and CDP, apparently the shoot for the video in 2012 did not go well, with Lil Wayne arriving late so that a change in venues was necessary. When Weezy arrived on set, where they had procured extras, artist trailers, craft services and everything else that goes into music video production, he reportedly demanded a TV to watch the Olympics, which threw the filming schedule so off that they had to find a new location to shoot it.
Dar and CDP want not only injunction against Juicy J to stop him from further sales of “Bandz a Make Her Dance,” they also want all profits from the song and music video.
