- The viral “Happy Birthday Remix” that has taken TikTok by storm is now the center of a heated legal debate. Eric Lloyd and Michael Williams, who also goes by the stage name “Halla,” created the song together in 2008, never expecting that the song would blow up nearly 15 years later. With the two no longer being friends, no prior legal agreement in place, and the song taking over the internet and bringing in significant profits… who should reap the benefits? The Shade Room investigates…

Split the money 50/50 & make more music together as friends. Like Wow. Money really changes people.
But they stop being friends , ain’t no way I’ll split my money with him after he mad a wack axx diss rap bout me n my family talking bout killing everybody, his vibes gives off he broke and mad
@Tammy-cr2pd That's that internet famous ego & pride. He got the check & forgot about the person he mad the song with.
@@Tammy-cr2pd you giving miserable 😂😂😂😂 like every other comment ? you have nothing better to fo w yo life or what
AND MAYBE SINCE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROMOTION WHICH IS WHAT GOT THE SONG WORTH SOMETHING IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT THAT SONG HE DID WAS NUTS. I WOULD BE OUT TO TAKE HIM FOR EVERYTHING. YOU LITERALLY THREATEN TO KILL ME AND MY WIFE!!!! BRO WHT!!!
If he helped make the song and money is being made off of it, then he deserves to be compensated.
I feel as if he left the group , depending on how long he been gone and did he do a part on the school yes he should be paid but if he didn’t and have not been performing he don’t need to be paid a team is a team … but I know for sure someone is lying 🤥
@@Tammy-cr2pd and I can guarantee it’s not the one who name start with M😂
The rapper should get less. We don’t listen to that part
My goodness a diss track about murking someone family and than saying he wasn’t going to do it lol sounds like a one sided beef. They could never work together after that
Gives me was lying this whole time dat iissh was wack , again ain’t no way he help them make that track rapping like that
They need to get an understanding now and let God lead them into an agreement!🙏🏾 just love each other stop the madness ❤️❤️❤️
The diss song was tew much 😂
🤦🏽♀️… how you gone say he wasn’t apart of it at the time when that’s his WHOLE voice on the track? It’s actually the singing parts of the song that everyone loves… not the rap verse. Eric’s voice IS the best part of the song. Is he delulu?
Exactly! I’m playing that song at my birthday party and I want the DJ to stop it right before the rapping starts.
@@tklaw4102 😂🤣 right! He can just loop the chorus really!
That part😂😂😂😂😂@@tklaw4102
@@tklaw4102His ass was tryna be extra greedy & Halla wasn't trying to pay up because he felt Eric didn't do enough foot work🤦🏽♀️ as my friend Will Traxx says in his song..("Better Do Your Homework")😂.. b4 ppl start running off promoting & releasing music cuz it's a fine line btwn love & hate especially when nothing was written in stone glad they compromised & moved on
How much work is put in a happy birthday song? A diss murder song over a Happy Birthday song?! Terrible.
Didn’t have nothing to do with the song. You not behind the scenes lmaoo wayyy deeper than that but go off
Dat part
@@Tammy-cr2pdwho tf are you yo 😂😂
It going viral doesn't matter... wtf and your diss track at 40+ is whack...
Pure Raw Talent doesn’t stop just cause you’re older. He gone do what he does best. Either pick up the fists or a pen… you choose 😂
Dang. Come on now y'all smh.
I’m happy they worked it out. I think that Halla guy was lying… simply bc he put out a diss track talking about murder… like what is your problem dude?!
Either way, I’m glad they worked it out & I hope they get everything in writing from now on.
Exactly, what he thought he was method man 😂😂😂 sh!t was wack asf 😂😂😂 ain’t no way he made that song with them he can’t rap 🎤
Lmaooo bitch please😂😂 y’all go off of some internet shit. PLEASE Halla don’t need nothing from these lying mfs… please. He literally has no reason to lie. Better ask somebody
yall all sensitive asf & it shows 😂. nobody was literal w the statement he made in his rap lmao. its rap be fr i know you’ve listened to r&b rap or diss tracks that had been similar to tha but the things they said never had any action bcs nobodys fr babe. 😂 you should’ve left it at im happy they worked it out. no need to put anything negative after.
@@Tammy-cr2pdbabe where yo rap 😂. you must wanna be seen love.
Give him what due
This is sad. Give that man his %.
If one person to the contract didnt agree there was no agreement. Sounds like the 1st guy wrote and came up with the song and dude added his little rap.
LMFAOAOA you can’t get tight cause with a normal guy singing a normal song that he changed up a little
Doesn’t matter he co-wrote it, he is worth a hefty % that’s just business
Drop the song already yall I want to be able to play this for bdays come on now
OH WOW
Im just here for the comments 😂! Im biased...
The girl singer makes the song for me
"the gift that God gave, which is poetry and rap..." was God in it when you spoke about murdering his wife and his crew??
To Youuu (UuUuuUuuuu) 😜❤
He just did the adlibs
Why did this turn to a ending people family. Don't say what you do not mean. We each pay for our own sins.
These gentlemen need to agree to disagree WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE and squash the beef and focus on making their Money.
Let bygones be bygones and look at the big picture!!! I hope they're listening
Because if he helped write the song he deserves payment. Let's not pull this 1950s BS that ripped off many R&B artist then
Just do half and half. If God led you away from the group then get your cut and move on and stop trying to get more. They are doing all the work to make it more popular so you are basically getting a check without doing any of the promotion.
