#Nicki Minaj to Pay Tracy Chapman $450,000 in Settlement of Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
“#Nicki Minaj to Pay Tracy Chapman $450,000 in Settlement of Copyright Infringement Lawsuit”
Pitchfork has reached out to representatives and attorneys for Nicki Minaj and Tracy Chapman for comment.
Minaj had previously denied that “Sorry” infringed upon “Baby Can I Hold You,” a claim that she formalized in court documents filed in February 2019. She did, however, tweet about not being granted sample clearance from Chapman. In September 2020, Minaj was handed a small victory in the case when Judge Virginia A. Phillips said that the rapper did not commit copyright infringement when she wrote and recorded “Sorry.”
The song became public in the summer of 2018 when Funkmaster Flex leaked the track online, although it was later removed from his website. Chapman sued for copyright infringement on the basis that “Sorry” had used her and directly lifted Chapman’s original lyrics.
