Judge Virginia A. Phillips cited the doctrine of fair use in her ruling. “Artists usually experiment with works before seeking licenses from rights holders and rights holders typically ask to see a proposed work before approving a license,” Phillips wrote. “A ruling uprooting these common practices would limit creativity and stifle innovation within the music industry.”
Minaj’s “Sorry” surfaced online in August 2018 after Funkmaster Flex played the track on the radio. Before Flex premiered the song, Minaj had publicly asked Chapman to clear a sample to appear on her album Queen. Minaj and Chapman’s legal fight will continue over whether Minaj infringed on Chapman’s song by distributing “Sorry” over the radio.
