New details have arrived in the lawsuit Chris Brown and Drake face over their collaboration, ‘No Guidance.’

Full story below…

Brown’s team has now responded to the copyright infringement lawsuit. In the new filing from his attorney James G. Sammataro, it reads:

“This is not a close call. Posting a song on the Internet — such that the song is 1 out of 82 million songs on Spotify or posted by one of Instagram’s 1 billion users — and a one-time public performance do not constitute widespread dissemination as a matter of law.”

The new filing then goes on to deny the Plaintiff’s – Braindon Cooper – claim that he sent his song to A&R Mic Tee in March 2019, and that the A&R then “suggested” that they meet “in Toronto.”

“Plaintiffs’ allegation that Mic Tee suggested that Cooper travel to Toronto, Drake’s ‘original hometown,’ is insufficient to permit an inference of access. By plaintiffs’ own account, Drake has resided in California since 2014. In any event, there is no allegation that Cooper went to Toronto, and it is implausible to assume that every musician in Toronto collaborates and shares music with Drake.”

Moreover, the new filing has gone on to ask that the suit be dismissed “in its entirety with prejudice.”

Cooper is claiming that Brown and Drake ripped off his song ‘I Love your Dress’ to craft the hook for ‘No Guidance.’

The song was featured on Brown’s ‘Indigo’ album and became a chart success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at #5.

As of now, a judge has not ruled on the new filing.
