In legal documents seen by the pitchforkthe lawsuit alleges as the title, chorus, text, tempo, melodic sequence, harmonic sequence, tonal sequence, use of reverberation and use of cadence in the music of Megan Thee Stallion are “almost identical” to their song.
“An average lay observer would recognize the Infringing Work as having been appropriated from the Protected Work because of the striking similarity between the two compositions and the way they are performed…to exclude the possibility of independent creation,” the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit.
payne and James also state how Big Sean frequented places where the music was performed. The lawsuit also alleges how Sean and stallion received a cease and desist letter that “in good faith sought to resolve the matter amicably.”
Since being notified of their infringing conduct, Defendants have continued their willful and reckless disregard of the exclusive copyright owned by Plaintiffs, forcing Plaintiffs to initiate this process.
