Ice Spice reaches settlement for alleged copyright infringement on ‘In Ha Mood’
Ice Spice has reached a settlement in a copyright infringement case regarding ‘In Ha Mood’.
The rapper was sued earlier in January for allegedly copying a song called ‘In That Mood’ by Duval ‘D.Chamberz’ Chamberlain and Kenley ‘Kass the Producer’ Carmenate.
Chamerlain and Carmenate claimed the Bronx musician “copied” the name, hook, chorus, phrasing and tempo of ‘In That Mood’ without permission or credit.
Now, in a motion filed in federal court last Friday (September 20), attorneys for Ice Spice, Chamberlain and Carmenate said they have agreed to resolve the lawsuit, with specific details of the settlement undisclosed.
NME have reached out to both parties for comment.
The rapper recently announced UK and European 2024 tour dates to tour her debut album ‘Y2K‘, an album which NME described as having “plenty of promise but some filler, too.”
Her highly-anticipated debut contained tracks like ‘Phat Butt’, the Sean Paul-sampling ‘Gimmie A Light’ and ‘Think U The Shit (Fart).’ It also included features from Travis Scott (‘Oh Shhh…’), Gunna (‘Bitch I’m Packin’’) and Central Cee on ‘Did It First.’
