\t\t\t\t\tIce Spice Hit With Copyright Lawsuit Over \u2018In Ha Mood\u2019: \u2018Cannot Be Purely Coincidental\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe case, filed earlier this year<\/a> by a rapper named D.Chamberz (Duval Chamberlain), claimed that Ice Spice\u2019s song \u2013 which spent 16 weeks on the Hot 100 in 2023 \u2013 was \u201cstrikingly similar\u201d to his own 2021 track \u201cIn That Mood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in a motion filed in federal court Friday, attorneys for both sides said they had agreed to resolve the lawsuit. Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed in court filings, and neither side immediately returned requests for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tReleased early last year following Ice Spice\u2019s 2022 breakout, \u201cIn Ha Mood\u201d reached No. 58 on the Hot 100 and No. 18 on the US Hot R&B\/Hip Hop Songs chart. It was later included on her debut EP Like..?<\/em>, and she performed the song during her October appearance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a lawsuit filed in January, D.Chamberz claimed that the two songs share so many similarities that the overlaps \u201ccannot be purely coincidental.\u201d He said the similar elements \u201cgo [to] the core of each work,\u201d and are so obvious that they\u2019ve already been spotted by listeners.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBy every method of analysis, \u2018In Ha Mood\u2019 is a forgery,\u201d D.Chamberz\u2019s attorneys wrote at the time. \u201cAny proper comparative analysis of the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement, and narrative context will demonstrate that \u2018In Ha Mood\u2019 was copied.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lawsuit claimed the earlier song received \u201csignificant airplay\u201d on New York City radio stations, including Hot 97 and Power 105.1, giving Ice Spice and others behind her track a chance to hear it.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to naming Ice Spice (Isis Naija Gaston) as a defendant, the lawsuit also names her frequent producer, RiotUSA<\/a> (Ephrem Lopez, Jr.), as well as Universal Music Group, Capitol Records and 10K Projects.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn April, the defendants formally denied the lawsuit\u2019s allegations, but the case remained in the earliest stages when Friday\u2019s agreement was reached.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
