Juice WRLD has been sued by former rock band Yellowcard for $15 million, according to a report by Billboard. The lawsuit claims that the rapper’s hit single “Lucid Dreams” uses “melodic elements” from their 2006 song “Holly Wood Died” without permission to do so.
In a statement, Yellowcard’s attorney Richard Busch said, “This was not a lawsuit the guys wanted to file. They put all of the parties on notice a long while ago and gave them every opportunity to try to resolve it. That notice was pretty much ignored leaving them with no real choice. As alleged in the Complaint, this is not just a generic Emo Rap song, but is a blatant copy of significant original compositional elements of Holly Wood Died in several respects. Beyond that, everything we have to say is in the Complaint.”
