Hip-Hop Copyright Battles: Flo Milli Faces a Lawsuit, Snoop Settles One

This week, two copyright cases highlight the ongoing tension between creativity and legal boundaries in hip-hop. Rising star Flo Milli is facing a lawsuit claiming her track “Never Lose Me” copies elements from another artist’s work. Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has settled a long-running copyright infringement case, quietly resolving claims tied to his catalog. These stories are a reminder that copyright issues can affect artists at every stage of their career.

Hi there,

This week’s newsletter dives into two stories showing how copyright claims continue to shape the music industry. Flo Milli, one of hip-hop’s rising stars, is facing a lawsuit over her viral track “Never Lose Me,” with allegations that it borrows from another artist’s work without permission. At the same time, Snoop Dogg has wrapped up a copyright case of his own, reaching a settlement that closes a chapter on claims tied to his music. Whether you’re just starting out or a legend in the game, copyright issues remain a reality for every artist.

Rising rapper Flo Milli is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit claiming her track “Never Lose Me” copies distinctive elements from another artist’s earlier work. The plaintiff alleges that key melodies and lyrical structures were lifted without permission, sparking a legal battle that could impact streaming revenues and publishing rights. Flo Milli and her team have not yet publicly responded, but the case underscores the risks artists face as songs go viral and draw increased scrutiny.

Snoop Dogg Quietly Settles Copyright Infringement Case

Snoop Dogg has reached a settlement in a copyright lawsuit that alleged elements of his music infringed on another artist’s work. The details of the settlement remain confidential, but the agreement avoids a drawn-out legal battle and potential damages. For artists and producers, the case is another reminder that copyright disputes can arise years after a song’s release, and resolving them often requires careful negotiation to protect reputations and assets.
