Megan Thee Stallion Wins Court Ruling Dismissing ‘Savage’ Copyright Lawsuit

A Megan Thee Stallion "Savage" copyright lawsuit was dismissed by a judge, who ruled there’s no evidence she ever heard the little-known track.

A federal judge says Megan Thee Stallion didn’t copy her chart-topping “Savage” from an earlier song, ruling there’s no evidence the superstar has ever even heard the little-known instrumental track. In a decision issued Tuesday (June 18), Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed a lawsuit filed last year by producer James A. Greene, who claimed that Megan’s mega-hit infringed the copyrights to his own song “It’s About To Be On.” The judge also ruled that the case was flawed for a simpler reason: That it was unlikely Megan and her co-writers had “access” to his song to copy it — a key element in any copyright lawsuit.
