 NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - Louisiana rapper Mystikal is being sued by New Orleans entrepreneur Steve Winn for allegedly copying phrases from the �Cajun In Your Pocket� device. The key chain toy apparently plays six phrases including �Laissez les bon temps rouler� (�Let the good times roll�) and �Ooooh I love you like a pig loves corn.� Winn claims that Mystikal uses these phrases in the song �Shake Ya Ass,� and wants songwriter credit, retroactive profits and an estimated 1.25 million US in damages. The court date for the case is set for mid-September. Mystikal will argue in the case against him, that the phrases have been around for over 100 years and that Mr. Winn does not own the copyright.
