Chris Brown and Drake have been named in a copyright infringement lawsuit after being accused of stealing elements of their 'No Guidance' collaboration.

TMZ. Singer Mr. Cooper and producer Drumn Skillz also known as Brandon Cooper and Timothy Valentine claim No Guidance copied their own song I Love Your Dress and are seeking big damages. In documents obtained by TMZ, Cooper and Valentine claim their track dropped three years before Chris Brown and Drakes No Guidance, which arrived in June 2019 and appeared on Breezys Indigo album. They say an analysis of the No Guidance beat, lyrics, hook and rhythmic structure proves it was copied or at least principally derived from I Love Your Dress. The lawsuit points out I Love Your Dress containing the lyrics, She got it, she got it 16 times, with No Guidance mentioning You got it, girl, you got it at least 11 times. Not only that, but Mr. Cooper and Drumn Skillz claim Chris Brown and Drake taunted them with the Flew the coop line, which Cooper says is a reference to his nickname, Coop. No Guidance peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was nominated for Best R&B Song at the 2020 Grammy Awards. The song has over 693 million streams on Spotify, with the music video also racking up 373 million YouTube views. Weve come together before and tried to link and make music and I think we were always kind of forcing it, Drake told Rap Radar about Chris Brown in December 2019. I think there was always resentment on both sides. You know, really at the end of the day when you kind of step away from it and break it down you start to feel silly cause its over girl stuff, you know? But obviously, that can snowball into real shit and thats what happened in this situation. Read more
