## Summary

Universal Music Group and Warner Chappell Music have agreed in principle to settle a copyright lawsuit over Quavo’s 2018 track “Bubble Gum”. Louisiana rapper Lamount London, who performs as L.Mont, alleged that the song copied his own work after he handed Quavo a demo CD at a Migos after-party in 2016. The agreement could end claims against the companies, but its terms have not been finalised.

London sued in September 2024, saying he wrote and recorded “Bubblegum” around 2015 and that the two tracks shared lyrics, melody, arrangement and other elements. The court filing names UMG Recordings, Universal Music-MGB NA and Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, and asks to cancel upcoming case dates while the parties seek to complete the settlement within 40 days. It gives no details about payment, and Quavo was not a party to the settlement notice, so it is unclear whether his claims are resolved.
