Three songwriters are suing TravisScott and the other credited authors and producers on his hit song “Highest In the Room.”
. The suit also names Cactus Jack Records, Grand Hustle LLC, Sony Music Entertainment, Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Papa George Music and These Are Songs of Pulse, a California company.
According to the 37-page complaint, the songwriters alleged that they created a song titled “Cartier” with a distinct guitar melody in 2019. Four days after they created the song, Lasier posted a link to the song containing the original guitar melody in a public online discussion group for music producers. He later sent their original work to hip-hop artistand at least 100 producers and artists, including Lepr, hoping they would be interested in licensing the work or in future collaborations.
After also posting the song to Instagram, Lasnier says he began corresponding with Lepr, sending him beats hoping he would license them. Lasnier also sent the work to Yildirim and Frascona. When “Highest in the Room” was released, Bassil, Lasnier and Leth found the guitar melody of the song substantially similar to “Cartier.”
“There is no doubt that Defendants’ ‘Highest in the Room’ was modeled after and copied original, prominent and qualitatively and quantitatively important parts of Plaintiff’s ‘Cartier,” the complaint states., “Everything we basically have to say is set forth in the Complaint.
The three songwriters are asking a judge to declare that Scott and the others willfully infringed on their work. In addition, the three are asking for damages and their share of the royalties for “Highest in the Room,” which they predict has already earned upwards of $20 million. A rep for Scott did not return a request for comment.
