Lil Mama recently wowed the Internet with the release of her "Sausage" video but she's being accused of stealing the song, which inspired a slew of Vines. The creator is reportedly unpleased with the Brooklyn rapstress.
Although Lil Mama references numerous other artists in the lyrics and music video, she failed to give a shoutout to Matthew Bellamy, the guy from a video that went viral and lead to the #SausageMovement.
"I am the creator of the Sausage Movement. The original creator, first one, and the one who invented it," Bellamy said.
Bellamy reportedly created the song with a friend at high school basketball practice and gave an impromptu performance that later became the viral video.
Apparently, the "Lip Gloss" rhymer did reach out to Bellamy at some point but failed to include him in plans for the video.
"[Lil Mama] told me she was just keeping it going like everybody else making the video," Bellamy explained, "But they tagged me in it. Every time someone makes a video about 'Sausage,' I get tagged on Instagram and they let me know. I say, 'Thanks for supporting the movement.'"
Bellamy allegedly reached her on Instagram and spoke with a rep from her camp who promised to incorporate him in Lil Mama's video. A lack of funds, however, made it impossible for Bellamy to attend but he plans to release a video of his own.
He announced on Facebook earlier this week that his own music video for the song will be shot on Friday, June 5.

And for the record, Bellamy does not approve of this video. "What I'm saying is you did the song without my permission, without my consent," he said.
