Los Angeles / Seoul — A major hip-hop controversy erupted when pioneering rap trio J.J. Fad called out YG Entertainment for allegedly copying their 1988 classic “Supersonic” in the new K‑pop track “HOT SAUCE”
In a dramatic TikTok video, J.J. Fad members highlighted the striking similarities and slammed YG for never seeking permission, offering credit, or paying royalties. They emphasized the questionable ethics at play:
“We’re flattered, but you didn’t ask.”
This latest accusation adds to a growing pattern of critiques surrounding YG’s use—or alleged misuse—of Black cultural content and music sampling practices.
Why It’s Trending
1. Cultural Accountability: J.J. Fad’s demands highlight the importance of properly crediting original Black creators in global pop music.
2. Legal Implications: By failing to clear the melody, YG may now face potential legal action for copyright infringement and intellectual property misuse.
3. Fan Backlash: Online, K‑pop super fans are divided—some defend YG, others align with J.J. Fad and call it another case of cultural disrespect in the music industry.
What to Watch Next
The spotlight is now on YG Entertainment’s response. Will they issue a statement, offer credit, or provide compensation? If not, legal experts anticipate an industry-defining lawsuit.
