BUtterfield 8 41,529 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 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 filing in federal court in Manhattan. Terms were not disclosed, and a judge ordered the dismissal of Stone's lawsuit because of the settlement. Lawyers for the parties did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 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." 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.'" 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." 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."
