Quavo ‘Bubble Gum’ Copyright Lawsuit Settled Out of Court

Major music publishers Universal Music Group and Warner Chappell Music have successfully resolved a copyright infringement lawsuit centered on Quavo's 2018 track "Bubble Gum". Legal counsel notified a federal judge of the agreement through a court filing on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Specific financial figures and conditions of the settlement remain confidential, bringing an end to the litigation that originally commenced in 2024.

The legal dispute stemmed from a complaint filed by rapper Lamount London, who performs as L.Mont. London maintained that he handed a demo CD of his own song titled "Bubblegum" to Quavo backstage after opening for Migos and 2 Chainz at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans back in 2016. According to the court filings, London argued that Quavo incorporated matching lyrical, melodic, and structural elements into the single featured on his solo album, Quavo Huncho.

The lawsuit initially targeted Quavo, alongside distributors and publishers linked to the release, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Because the case was still in its early procedural phases, the defendants had not yet submitted formal written responses addressing the allegations. Representatives for the involved parties declined to provide public statements regarding the resolution.
