Drake Trashes Lawsuit Claiming He Stole the Chorus for One of His Biggest Hits: 'Not One Iota of Truth'

Drake is being sued by hip-hop artist Aviel Calev Hirschfield, who claims Drake stole the chorus for his hit song 'Janice STFU' after hearing Lykke Li's 'I Follow Rivers'. Drake's team denied the allegations 'categorically, unequivocally' and called them a 'manufactured and baseless attempt' at gaining publicity, stating Drake wrote the song. This is not Drake's first plagiarism accusation; Florida rapper 1900Rugrat also alleged Drake used his beat for an album intro in May 2026.
