Rapper Quavo, a member of the popular group Migos, is facing a serious lawsuit from Louisiana rapper Lamount London, who goes by L.Mont. The allegations center around Quavo’s 2018 hit song “Bubble Gum,” which L.Mont claims is directly inspired by his own work.

L.Mont asserts that he personally gave Quavo a CD containing his original track, also titled “Bubble Gum,” after opening for Quavo and 2 Chainz at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans on February 9, 2016. According to L.Mont, his version is a “bouncy NOLA-style track” that he recorded in 2015. He had hoped to collaborate with Quavo in the future but never received any follow-up communication.

After Quavo released his “Bubble Gum” on the album Quavo Huncho in 2018, L.Mont claims he recognized multiple elements from his own song. He alleges that Quavo copied not only the lyrics but also the melody and arrangement, arguing that the only significant difference is the candy theme in the title.

In the lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, L.Mont is seeking damages for what he believes to be a clear case of copyright infringement. He points to the success of Quavo’s track, which has accumulated millions of streams, as evidence of the financial impact of the alleged copying.

As of now, neither Quavo nor his representatives have issued a response to L.Mont’s allegations. The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for both artists, especially in the realm of copyright laws and the music industry.

This case highlights ongoing issues in the music world regarding originality and inspiration. As artists often draw from one another, the lines can become blurred, leading to disputes like this one. The lawsuit serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting one’s creative work in an industry where ideas are frequently shared and adapted.
