Da Showstoppaz accused Beyonce and Big Freedia of copyright infringement in May.
Beyonce, Big Freedia & Da Showstoppaz Lawsuit Dropped
Da Showstoppaz previously alleged that the phrase “release yo wiggle,” used in their 2002 track, was “unique.” They noted how Big Freedia used similar phrases in her song. When the suit was first filed, Billboard noted that simple phrases like this are typically not protected by Copyright law, meaning that the group was unlikely to secure a victory. Following the release of Beyonce’s song, Big Freedia thanked her, saying that she was “honored to be a part of this special moment.”
Legal battles are far from the only things keeping Beyonce busy these days, however. Recently, she also teamed up with NBC to provide Team USA with an iconic introduction during the 2024 Paris Olympics. She later unveiled an uplifting video tribute to Simone Biles’ historic performance, which opened with her Cowboy Carter song “Just for Fun.” What do you think of Da Showstoppaz voluntarily dropping their lawsuit against Beyonce and Big Freedia over the hitmaker’s track “Break My Soul”?
