The Weeknd Settles Copyright Lawsuit
Written by Site Hub on March 21, 2023
Back in 2021, The Weeknd was sued for copyright infringement over his 2018 My Dear Melancholy, song “Call Out My Name.” Producers Suniel Fox and Henry Strange claimed the Weeknd and co-defendants Nicolás Jaar and Frank Dukes had infringed on their song “Vibeking.” According to the lawsuit, the two songs were “strikingly and/or substantially similar, if not identical.
This past Friday, Fox and Strange’s attorneys filed in court that the two sides have reached a settlement. The Weeknd’s representatives and the producers’ attorneys have not yet made a comment.
