Megan Thee Stallion might have the best legal team out there.

She was recently hit with a lawsuit accusing her of infringing on the copyright of an unknown song for her smash hit, Savage.

The lawsuit, filed by Jame A. Greene, alleges Megan’s single infringed upon his song, It’s About To Be On. He argues that there are similarities between the drum/piano patterns and siren sounds.

It was first ruled (on June 18) by Federal Judge Katherine Polk Failla that there was no evidence suggesting that Megan had ever heard the instrumental in question.

On June 20, in a more recent report, Judge Failla found that the two songs were “clearly different,” noting that “Savage is a lyrically driven pop song with a vibrant tempo, in stark contrast to Greene’s repetitive instrumental piece.”

At best, [the] plaintiff alleges that the undertook his own efforts to distribute the work throughout the music industry to A&Rs, management teams, etc., … Yet such efforts alone fall short of widespread distribution.

In [Greene’s song], the siren sound is an atonal chord that appears to be created using a synthesizer. By contrast, in ‘Savage,’ the alleged siren sound is not a siren at all but rather a distorted vocal sample. Put simply, no reasonable listener would discern any similarity.

Savage topped the charts in 2020, following a viral TikTok dance challenge and a surprise Beyoncé feature.

Safe to say Megan stays winning in the courtroom and on the charts.
