Eminem’s Publisher Drops Lawsuit Over TikTok Ads for Detroit Car Dealership Featuring ‘Lose Yourself’


In the Eminem "Lose Yourself" lawsuit, the rapper's publisher is dropping a copyright case over TikTok ads by a Ford dealership that used the song.

Eminem’s publisher is dropping a lawsuit that claimed a Detroit-area Ford dealership stole “Lose Yourself” for TikTok videos that warned viewers they “only get one shot” to buy a special edition truck. Less than three months after Eight Mile Style sued LaFontaine Ford St. Clair for copyright infringement over the social media ads, the music company told a judge Tuesday (April 22) that it would voluntarily dismiss the case permanently. “This is an action for willful copyright infringement … against LaFontaine for its unauthorized use of the composition in online advertisements for one or more car dealerships in blatant disregard of the exclusive rights vested in Eight Mile,” the company’s attorneys wrote.
