A Kentucky rapper credited with helping bring national attention to the "Shizz" dance has filed a $150,000 copyright infringement lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting.

Rapper Kensey "Kenzo" Rankin filed the lawsuit in United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Kenzo claims he owns the copyright to the song "Do the Shizz," along with plaintiffs Gracie Productions and a man named Marcus Clark.

The song, which was inspired by a popular Louisville dance created by a man named Lawshawn "Sugar Shizz" Talbert, achieved regional success.

But the record broke nationally when John Wall began doing the Shizz during his first year at Kentucky.

The dance then became commonly referred to as the John Wall Dance, even though John Wall has always credited the originator.

Kenzo's lawsuit claims that CBS has created and aired several segments about John Wall and the dance using their music, without the proper permission.

"Defendants CBS knew at all relevant times that Plaintiffs were the copyright owners of the Musical Composition and Sound Recording," the complaint reads.

In addition to at least $150,000 in damages, Kenzo and the other Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking to prevent CBS from using the song in any further segments.

Tragically, the creator of the dance, Lawshawn "Sugar Shizz" Talbert, may never benefit from the popularity of The Shizz.

Sugar Shizz was shot in the head and killed in a South Louisville neighborhood in August of 2010.
