Controversy In 2013, Detroit-based rapper Eminem sampled "Lookin' Boy", for his 2013 hit single, "Rap God". The group claims Eminem did not receive permission to use the sample, nor did he credit or compensate them. In November 2013, Hotstylz released a diss track towards Eminem titled "Rap Fraud", where they sample several of his songs and criticize him for not crediting them. In January 2015, TMZ reported Hotstylz were suing Eminem and Shady Records for the amount of $8 million for using the 6-second sample of "Lookin' Boy" on his song "Rap God" without their permission.
