GloRilla Wins Lawsuit Over Viral Catchphrase
22 Nov
Summary
- GloRilla successfully defended against a lawsuit alleging copyright infringement.
- The judge dismissed the case based on geographical jurisdiction technicalities.
- This marks GloRilla's second dismissal of a copyright infringement lawsuit.
Rapper GloRilla has emerged victorious in a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by social media personality Natalie Henderson. Henderson claimed GloRilla unlawfully used her viral catchphrase "all natural, no BBL" in the song "Never Find." The legal challenge was ultimately dismissed by Judge Lance M. Africk.
The judge's decision was based on jurisdictional grounds, ruling that Louisiana was not the appropriate venue for the lawsuit. GloRilla, a Georgia resident, and the various record labels involved, based in California, Tennessee, and New York, were not subject to Louisiana's jurisdiction. The court found that the song's alleged infringement did not specifically arise from events in Louisiana.
This dismissal, granted without prejudice, means Henderson could refile the suit elsewhere. This recent win follows a previous dismissal of a copyright case against GloRilla in New Orleans last year, also due to jurisdictional issues. The artist has now successfully navigated two separate copyright infringement claims.
