He's suing Gravy! Not for the instrumental sample - that was LICENSED!
But Gravy and his producers brought in a singer to imitate Astley's singing voice throughout the song! Astley claims this is a separate part of his artistic property and should NOT have been imitated without being run by him and his legal team. So he's putting Gravy on the stove! And he's gonna GET MOOONEY!
you'd think he'd have enough revenue coming in from the rickrolls. seems like a bs reason to sue somebody.

Would singing imitation be infringing publishing or what?
I think he's doing this now cause he rightfully deserves payment from the song's success.

I'm sure he's already getting paid off them sampling the instrumental. He wants more of Gravy's gravy
Disappointed that the link in OP doesnt take you to the rickroll video

If he signed off on the sample then he signed off on the sample. Now he's just being grimy by trying to get more money off the song's success after the fact
Would make more money if he went along w the joke and did a remix w him or something but alright
It’s crazy to think that one bored individual who wanted to troll people has made Rick Astely relevant in a generation that woulda never cared about him. Shoutout whoever invented the Rick Roll
