Lawsuit Against Juice WRLD dropped

The pop punk group Yellowcard who disbanded in 2017, filed a complaint in October 2019 in which they claim the rapper plagiarized parts of their 2006 song ‘Holly Wood Died’ in his hit ‘Lucid Dreams’. Claiming “the high degree of objective similarity between the Original Work and the Infringing Work extends well beyond the possibility of coincidence and could only reasonably be the result of an act of copying,” the band had stated in the initial lawsuit.

They have dropped the suit at this time according to their lawyers because they “really were uncomfortable about pursuing this action against Juice WRLD’s grieving mother as the representative of his Estate.”
