Travis Scott sued for copyright infringement for ‘Highest in the Room’ guitar melody.
Hip Hop sensation Travis Scott and associated producers and engineers have been sued over alleged copyright infringement on the rapper’s hit song, ‘Highest in the Room.’
As reports from Billboard, the lawsuit alleges Scott and his collaborators were “pretending to be interested in collaboration,” only to “intentionally break the rules by exploiting plaintiffs work without consent or a license, masquerading as if plaintiff’s music is their own.”
