Drake Denies Claims He Copied ‘Janice STFU’ Chorus in New Lawsuit

Drake has denied allegations that he copied the chorus of “Janice STFU” from producer Aviel Calev Hirschfield, professionally known as Avi. Hirschfield alleges that he recorded the hook in January 2026 and sent it to producers who had worked with Drake. He claims a song Drake released in May used the same lyrics and melody, and says he provided timestamped audio files to support his case. A representative for Drake called the claims false and described the lawsuit as an attempt to use the rapper’s name for money and publicity. The dispute has not yet been decided by a court.
