Rap star Eminem is being sued by a Chicago rap trio for the use of a sample in one of his songs.

Raymond Jones from the group Hotstylz is suing Eminem and his record label for 8 million dollars over the song Rap God. The group claims his track features a 25 second sample of their song Lookin' Boy mid track.

The song appeared on the Detroit rapper's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album.

Eminem and the group have been in a long feud after Hotstylz leaked a freestyle rap titled 'Rap Fraud' in which they made fun of Eminem's daughter and the star's past drug problems.
