December 8, 2024

AceShowbiz - It was reported in May that former New Orleans group Da Showstoppaz had filed a lawsuit against Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z over "Break My Soul". The group of plaintiffs, consisting of Tessa Avie, Keva Bourgeois, Henri Braggs and Brian Clark, accused the couple of doing "copyright infringement and stealing their intellectual property."

Da Showstoppaz alleged that "their unique phrases, melody and musical arrangement" on "Release a Wiggle" was sampled without their permission, "any authorization, acknowledgment, or payment." The song itself was created back in 2002. Meanwhile, "Break My Soul" was released in 2022.
