Because the papers haven’t been signed, Wallace filed documents stating that there’s no concrete timeline when she’ll be able to get a judge to sign the papers. The papers were necessary in order for the lawsuit to move forward. “Consequently, the Estate remains unable to participate in the case until a personal representative is appointed, thereby leaving Defendants unable to conduct a proper fact investigation or take any action on behalf the Estate, whose participation is crucial to Defendants’ defenses,” a note reads. The case was put on hold until the matters with the estate are sorted.
Yellowcard filed a lawsuit against Juice WRLD, Tay Taylor and Interscope for using a sample from their song, “Holly Wood Died” for “Lucid Dreams” without getting their authorization or even coughing up a dime. They filed a lawsuit for $15M against the rapper, his label and the song’s producer. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates regarding the legal battle.
