Khalid Muhammad's estate is suing the estate of Tupac Shakur for unauthorized usage of one of Muhammad's speeches featured on "White Man'z World" from Pac's The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. According to AllHipHop, the suit also names as co-defendants Suge Knight, Interscope Records, Death Row Records, and Darryl “Big D” Harper, the songs producer.
According to the suit, the song uses seven lines from Muhammad's 1993 Black Holocaust Nationhood Conference speech. Malik Z. Shabazz, the attorney for Muhammad's estate said, “His presence on ‘White Manz World’ reinforces Tupac Shakur’s role as not just an artist, but as a voice for Black empowerment and resistance against oppression.
At a time when Hip-Hop was a leading force in shaping political discourse among Black youth, Dr. Khalid’s inclusion gave ‘White Man'z World’ an undeniable authenticity, elevating it beyond music into a revolutionary message against racial injustice.”
