DJ Paul is being sued by a digital rights management agency for posting a video that they own the rights to.
On Monday (August 7), TMZ reported that a company named Viral DRM is taking the Three 6 Mafia founder to court for sharing their clip without permission. The footage in question is of a violent tornado in Elgin, Texas.

The original video was posted last year by a man named Ronald Brian Emfinger and it captured the natural disaster in full effect as it wrecked everything in its path. Its rights were then sold to the company that is suing Paul for resharing it in March 2022.
According to legal documents, Viral DRM is taking the veteran DJ to court for damages, asserting that they were unable to properly monetize their asset because he posted it on his page.
On a lighter note, the Memphis native recently recalled a time he flexed on Salma Hayek. Despite her being a fan, the gesture didn’t go over so well with the Latina actress.
In an interview with T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Radio podcast, the 46-year-old legend talked about his not-so-successful interaction with Hayek at a party.
“She got mad at me that night,” Paul began. “She got mad because I had on a lot of jewelry — you know, like an $85,000 watch — and then she was like, ‘I’m a big fan, nice to meet you.’ This and that.
“I was just smiling, and she said, ‘You know you’re Black brothers in Africa are dying for these blood diamonds you’re wearing?’ And I said, ‘What?’”

When T-Pain’s co-host chimed in to say how rude it was that she just assumed Paul didn’t know where his diamonds were from, he admitted that Hayek had got one over on him.
“She knew I didn’t check where they were from,” Paul said.
