Court documents obtained by TMZ show that Young Fletcher claimed that Gotti released a song similar to the unreleased collaboration. Gotti is also accused of trying to sign Young Fletcher by going around Fletcher's manager and offering him  a $150,000 deal, which Fletcher turned down. Yo Gotti didn't respond to the lawsuit after being served the papers while performing onstage, and a judge ruled in favor of Young Fletcher.
