Ice Spice will no longer have to worry about where her mood came from, as she’s settled a lawsuit filed against her earlier this year over her track “In Ha Mood.”
On Friday (September 20), attorneys for both Ice and the Brooklyn rapper who filed the suit, Duval “D.Chamberz” Chamerlain, filed a stipulation of voluntary dismissal. The case was dismissed with prejudice, which means that it can’t be brought again.
No details of any agreement between the parties were revealed, and neither side replied to a request for details from Billboard.
The suit was filed in January of this year. D.Chamberz claimed that Spice copied the beat, lyrics, hook, rhyme structure, metrical placement and narrative of his January 2022 track “In That Mood” for her “In Ha Mood.”
He claimed that he made the song an entire year before the Bronx rap star released “In Ha Mood,” which came out in January 2023 and appears on her debut EP Like..?
Chamberz (real name Duval Chamberlain) said in the suit that Ice Spice and her producer RiotUSA could have heard his version of the song as he worked as a DJ in New York and that “In That Mood” also received radio play in the city.
He asked for “no less than fifty percent (50%) of the publishing and other revenues derived from” the track.
