Rapper Drake's team denies stealing 'Janice STFU' chorus as they claim lawsuit is a money grab

 

Drake has denied allegations that he copied the chorus of “Janice STFU” from producer Aviel Calev Hirschfield, who has filed a lawsuit against the rapper. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Hirschfield, professionally known as Avi, alleges that he recorded the hook in January 2026 and sent it to producers who had worked with Drake.

He claims the song released by Drake in May contained the same lyrics and melody. Hirschfield said he supplied timestamped audio files to support his claim but was refused songwriting credit or a share of the profits. A representative for Drake rejected the allegations.

“These allegations are categorically, unequivocally, and completely denied. There is not one iota of truth to these accusations,” the representative told TMZ. The representative described the lawsuit, filed on Friday, as a “manufactured and baseless attempt” to use Drake’s name and success to obtain money and publicity.


“Drake wrote this song and has no connection or knowledge of this person full stop,” the representative added. The allegations have not been determined by a court.

Nearly 450 patients at Salem Hospital in Massachusetts, U.S may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV due to improper administration of their IV medications, the hospital announced.

  Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland is suing a Norwegian airline for using his signature hairstyle in an advert.   According to Norwegian outlet VG, a lawsuit has been filed against Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA by Haaland and York Promotions Ltd. that has to do with a post the airline made on social media. The company posted a photo of one of its planes with Haaland's ponytail, with shaved sides, which he recently cut, plopped on top, and the caption, "We've never looked more Norwegian."       That post has since been deleted, but there's a hearing scheduled for October 9 in Oslo.   "It is true that we have received a lawsuit that we do not understand," Norwegian press officer Eivind Hammer Myhre said.

Haaland, who plays for Manchester City, helped Norway reach the World C...
