The song, released just over a year ago, has already made more than $10 million, according to the suit, Variety reports. Grande, Brown, Universal Music Corp., and any of their attorneys have yet to make a statement, according to CNN. ”People made a LOT of money on Josh’s work. Josh’s song was taken and used without his consent, without his knowledge and without a license,” Stone’s lawyer, Tamir Young, told Fox News. “This lawsuit is about protecting artists and their work.

The lawsuit claims “the rhythm and placement of the notes and lyrics are identical,” according to Fox News.Īccording to CNN, the song acknowledges borrowing from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s song from “The Sound Of Music,” “My Favorite Things.” But the 10-person songwriter list does not include Stone. Stone claims Brown had showed interested in collaborating with him on “You Need I Got It” back when the song was being produced in 2017, but, Stone alleges, Brown took the song and used it to make “7 Rings,” according to CNN. The suit names Grande, several music publishing companies such as Universal Music Corporation, as well as the song’s co-songwriter-producers, Thomas Lee Brown, Charles Michael Anderson, Michael David Foster, Taylor Monet Parks, Kimberly Anne Krysiuk, Victoria Monet McCants, and Njomza Vitia, according to Billboard.
One of the best-selling pop artistes in the last decade, Grande as of Sunday was the second-most streamed female artiste in 2021 on Spotify, after Taylor Swift and ahead of Dua Lipa.In a lawsuit filed Thursday, hip-hop artist Josh Stone claims that the chorus of Ariana Grande’s Grammy-nominated song “7 Rings” is taken almost entirely from his song “You Need I Got it,” according to Variety. Her song spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, and its video has been seen more than 954 million times on Google's YouTube. Grande, 27, gave songwriting credit to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for 7 Rings because it borrowed from their song My Favorite Things, from the Tony-winning Broadway musical and Oscar-winning film The Sound Of Music. The defendants said ordinary listeners would consider the songs "very different", and that Stone had no monopoly over everyday phrases such as "I got it".

He said he pitched his song at meetings at Universal Music Group attended by one of Grande's producers, the defendant Tommy Brown, and was "not receiving the credit due for the success experienced by I Got It and 7 Rings." Ariana Grande sampled the well known musical hit 'My Favourite Things' from 'The Sound Of Music' for her new single '7 rings' and some fans have no idea what it is. Ariana Grande's '7 Rings' is a massive and lucrative hitespecially for legendary composers Rodgers & Hammerstein. Stone had claimed that "highly regarded musicology experts" had concluded that the beat, hook, lyrics and rhythmic structure of 7 Rings were lifted from his song You Need It, I Got It. Lawyers for the parties did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Terms were not disclosed, and a judge ordered the dismissal of Stone's lawsuit because of the settlement. Josh Stone, a New Yorker who performs as DOT, revealed the settlement with Grande and 13 other defendants, including her publishers and several songwriters, in a Tuesday (Mar 16) filing in federal court in Manhattan. Ariana Grande has settled a lawsuit by a hip-hop artiste who accused the pop superstar of plagiarising her 2019 smash 7 Rings from a song he wrote two years earlier.
