AceShowbiz - Three 6 Mafia has been sued by a group of Memphis-based artists, who accused MCs DJ Paul and Juicy J of committing "over 150 independent acts of copyright infringement from more than 100 individual sound recordings."

In documents obtained by TMZ.com, the plaintiffs claim that they started working with Three 6 Mafia in the 90s, when they were all trying to make it in the music industry. They claim they started producing, recording and writing lyrics for the hip-hop group, for tracks such as "Memphis" and "Tear Da Club Up", but never got paid for their work.

The accusers also claim that DJ Paul and Juicy J created Three 6 Mafia alongside several other musical groups in order to profit from their work.

They are suing for copyright infringement and seeking unspecified damages as well as an injunction blocking Three 6 Mafia from continuing to use the work they say they created.
