Nicki Minaj copyright infringement lawsuit [edit]

The song created fizz in popular media in 2018, when Nicki Minaj used an interpolation of "Baby Can I Hold You lot" in her song "Sorry" featuring Nas. Minaj had used the sample believing it was from the song "Sorry" by Shelly Thunder, unaware that song was actually a encompass of "Baby Can I Hold You".[38] Minaj left the song off her fourth studio album due to clearance issues, but the vocal was leaked to Funkmaster Flex shortly after the album's release in Baronial.[39] In October that year, Chapman sued Minaj for copyright infringement, claiming that Minaj leaked the song to Flex after Chapman denied her team's request for clearance of the song multiple times beginning in June.[40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] In September 2020, District Court judge Virginia A. Phillips ruled in favor of Minaj stating that Minaj's experimentation with Chapman'south song constitutes fair use rather than copyright infringement.[46] In Jan 2021, the dispute was settled when Minaj paid Chapman $450,000 to avoid a pending trial.[47]
