Lil Uzi Vert Hit With $110M Copyright Lawsuit for ‘Just Wanna Rock’

2025 had been usually quiet for Lil Uzi Vert, until this week.

The Philly chart-topper now finds themself juggling two lawsuits within days, with the latest being a $110 million copyright claim.

Full story below…

Artist Rief Rawyal insists Uzi’s 2022 smash ‘Just Wanna Rock’ heavily mirrors his August 2022 track ‘Pain and Pleasure.’ A forensic musicologist reportedly found a 93-97% similarity between the songs, noting shared tempo, rhythmic patterns, chant stylings, and parallel lyrics ending in “rock.” Rawyal also urges that Uzi and Atlantic Records have access to his demos through label execs, creating a direct pipeline to his work. Rawyal is demanding damages, retroactive publishing credit, and ownership stakes.

The filing arrives as Uzi also battles a separate sexual-harassment suit from a former assistant, making this one of the star’s most turbulent weeks. Stay tuned to see where this legal battle lands.
