A court in New York has dismissed a lyric theft claim made against Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion because, and let’s be clear about this, standalone lyrics about wet pussies are not sufficiently original to enjoy copyright protection. And that, people, is the law.“The concept of using ‘pussies so wet’ as a rhetorical device in a song is neither original nor unique to plaintiff”, district judge Andrew L Carter Jr declared in a ruling earlier this week, “and in any event, copyright does not protect ideas or themes”.You might have guessed that the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion song subject to this particular lyric theft claim was ‘WAP’.
Denise Jones, who performs as Necey X, alleged that the 2020 hit ripped off lyrics she wrote the previous year as part in a song called ‘Grab Em By The Pussy’.Additional claims were also made that other Megan Thee Stallion tracks – including ‘Thot Shit’ and ‘Don’t Stop’ – lifted lyrics from either ‘Grab Em By The Pussy’ or other songs Jones had written. And there was another rapper named as a defendant alongside Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, that being ‘WAP’ co-writer Pardison Fontaine, aka Jordan Thorpe.Jones claimed that she had previously been involved in a business venture with Thorpe’s father which ended in a legal dispute.
