Written by SeanCeezy

Bon Jovi belted out "Bad Medicine." Def Leppard rocked "Medicine Man." Plies rapped "Medicine."

A Seminole County man says he, too, wrote about the subject, in a song he titled "My Medicine," and claims in a new federal lawsuit filed in Orlando that Plies, whose real name is Algernod Lanier Washington, copied him.

David Lee Sessions A.K.A. $tackk$ wants more than $10 million from Plies, the Atlantic Recording Corp. and other businesses for copyright infringement, according to the suit filed in Orlando.

In his suit, Sessions said Plies' song "Medicine" is "very similar" to his song and notes the two pieces have "an almost identical title." $tackk$, 26, also claims Plies' song has the same tempo and "hook" as his version. The "Medicine" video was based entirely on $tackk$ first verse of "My Medicine." Plies took "Medicine" off of his album, even though it was his hit single.
