The gospel singer bringing a copyright infringement lawsuit in opposition to Travis Scott, SZA and Future is disputing that Ye (previously Kanye West) was a co-writer on the demo that finally turned the 2023 hit “Telekinesis” — hitting again on the trio’s assertion that Ye had granted them permission to make use of the monitor.

Victory Boyd made the argument in a Monday (July 28) court docket submitting in her lawsuit over Scott’s tune “Telekinesis,” which featured SZA and Future and peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Sizzling 100. The monitor was tailored from an unreleased Ye recording known as “Just like the Method It Sounds,” which Boyd claims she wrote for the rapper whereas they have been collaborating on his album Jesus Is King.

Scott, SZA and Future argued in a movement to dismiss Boyd’s claims earlier this month that they received specific permission to make use of “Just like the Method It Sounds” from Ye, who they are saying wrote the demo’s chords, beat and melody.

However Boyd maintains on Monday that she’s the one creator of “Just like the Method It Sounds.” The response submitting argues that Scott, SZA and Future have taken “inventive license” together with her lawsuit, which was “easy and succinct in asserting plaintiff’s sole creation of the unique work.”

Boyd’s lawyer, Keith White, notes that on the movement to dismiss part of litigation, a choose should take the info asserted in a criticism as true. If there’s a query about whether or not Ye is a co-writer, argues White, proof must be collected and analyzed to find out the reality.

“The [complaint] alleges, intimately, that Boyd is the only real creator of the unique work and that the registrations have been correctly obtained,” writes White. “Any opposite assertions by defendants should be resolved on a developed factual report, not on a movement to dismiss.”

Ed McPherson, an lawyer representing Scott, SZA and Future, strongly denies that Boyd was the only real creator of “Just like the Method It Sounds” in a remark to Billboard on Monday.

“Properly, I’m certain that can be information to Kanye, who has been receiving publishing royalties on this tune since its inception!” McPherson says of “Telekinesis.”

McPherson factors to language in Boyd’s personal criticism, the place she wrote that Ye offered her “with some chords and melodies that he preferred.”

“That sounds to me like Kanye gave her the music,” provides McPherson. “The truth is, the copyright registration that she filed really confirms that the one a part of the tune that she wrote was (at the very least a few of) the ‘lyrics!’ Who’s she making an attempt to idiot?!”

A rep for Ye didn’t return a request for touch upon the matter.
