In last October, band Yellowcard filed for a routine infringement case against Juice WRLD. At the time Juice WRLD was a rising star and was dominating charts with his music. The band, however, accused Juice WRLD of copying the melody of their 2006 song “Hollywood Died”. The band mentioned that the infringement had been noticed in Juice WRLD’s breakthrough hit “Lucid Dreams”. The band had asked for at least $15 million in damages. However, two months later, Juice WRLD passed away at the age of 21. The rapper, whose real name was Jarad Higgins, died of a drug overdose. Since then, he was memorialised as a tragic symbol of the SoundCloud Rap generation, according to the news portal.

The lawyer for Yellowcard mentioned that the band was feeling very sympathetic towards the grieving mother who had lost her 21-year-old son. Thus the charges were eventually withdrawn this week by the band who collectively made the decision. However, the lawyer mentioned clearly that the lawsuit can be refiled, according to the news portal.
