<\/div>\n

DJ Paul and Travis Scott<\/a> have settled a copyright lawsuit the former filed against the latter over similarities between Three 6 Mafia<\/a>\u2019s 1997 track \u201cTear Da Club Up\u201d<\/a> and Scott\u2019s Astroworld<\/em><\/a> song \u201cNo Bystanders.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

DJ Paul\u2019s initial lawsuit sought $20 million in damages, although the financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed. In a statement provided by his rep, DJ Paul said, \u201cTravis and I actually settled some time ago, we were just waiting on the formalities. We have each other\u2019s numbers and are good, and I look forward to some future collaborations with him. As far as the details, I\u2019m not going to be in anyone else\u2019s pockets, so that will stay between us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his lawsuit, DJ Paul claimed<\/a> that the \u201cFuck the club up\u201d chant on \u201cNo Bystanders\u201d had a \u201ccadence and sound\u201d that was \u201cvirtually identical and strikingly similar\u201d to the hook on \u201cTear Da Club Up.\u201d The lawsuit also cited Scott\u2019s performance at the 2019 Grammys, where he changed the song\u2019s lyrics to \u201cTear the club up.\u201d<\/p>\n

After filing the lawsuit, DJ Paul shared a statement, in which he said that he\u2019d personally been in touch with Scott about the similarities between the songs. \u201cEverything will be worked out accordingly with proper communication between he, Juicy J and I,\u201d DJ Paul said. \u201cThere is no beef, just business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, DJ Paul and Juicy J reunited Three 6 Mafia<\/a> for the first three shows with former members and collaborators Gangsta Boo, Crunchy Black, Project Pat, Lil Wyte and La Chat. The group will perform again on October 11th at the Loud Records 25th anniversary show in Newark, New Jersey, and October 12th in Southaven, Mississippi, just outside their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Scott, meanwhile, released his most recent album, Astroworld<\/em> last year, while in August he dropped a new Netflix documentary, Look Mom I Can Fly<\/em><\/a>. The rapper recently appeared alongside Ozzy Osbourne on Post Malone\u2019s \u201cTake What You Want,\u201d<\/a> and he\u2019s set to release his next solo single, \u201cHighest In the Room,\u201d October 4th.<\/p>\n
