XXL reported that Jimmy Duval is suing XXXTentacion’s estate for $1 million. citing unpaid royalties from the song. Duval does say that amount is negotiable though. according to the producer. He also says he originally intended to keep this a private matter but felt he needed to come forward because was left off of the credits. Read his statement below:
“It was my intention to keep the pending matter involving the estate of the late XXX Tentacion a private matter. However, in lieu of recent developments and out of respect for someone who was truly a legend in his own right and someone I called my friend, it is imperative that I clear things up. It is important to note that as the producer behind “Look at me”, an inarguable platinum hit, I was removed from all credits, which in turn meant that all rights and royalties owed to me, were immediately averted. It goes without saying that everyone deserves credit for their contributing works. My friend is no longer with us and Im only asking to remain a part of the legacy that we created together with “Look at me”. X changed my life and the lives of many others and we want to continue widening the positive impact that our music creates. I would never under any circumstances disrespect X or his legacy. Im only asking for what is rightful and fair.”
Now y’all know that X stans are SAVAGE. Many of them replied to Scheme’s tweet searching for the truth. Check out his replies to some fans below:
Yeah start a law suit against someone 3 years after the record already has blown up and now you want something? Doesn’t that sound a little crazy to you? Talk to Rojas about what happened with the beat and how he remade it.

The beat was given to him from Rojas as a beat from Rojas and he got paid. Now that jahs gone your gunna try to sue for a million dollars? Every other producer has been paid for every piece of work.

Rojas took the credit for it and got a deal. Also he should of done this so long ago not after he’s gone the money is left for his family especially his son bro that’s fucked up.
