Carliz De La Cruz Hernández, the former partner of Bad Bunny, is suing the Puerto Rican artist over the rights to voice recordings used in his music.

Assosciated Press reports that De La Cruz is mounting legal action over her “Bad Bunny, baby” voice memo, which has appeared on numerous songs by the hugely popular star.

She is seeking $40 million in damages. De La Cruz filed the lawsuit earlier this month. It also names Bad Bunny's label Rimas Entertainment and manager Noah Kamil Assad Byrne and was first reported by online Puerto Rico news site Noticel.

The filing states that she has been left feeling "worried, anguished, intimidated, overwhelmed and anxious" by the attention brought onto her by appearing on songs, including 2016 single “Pa Ti” and Un Verano Sin Ti’s “Dos Mil 16.” Read Next: The Grammys presented another uninspiring vision of music According to the lawsuit, efforts to authorize the voicemail heard in both songs were made by Bad Bunny's team prior to the release of last year's Un Verano Sin Ti.
