Nicki Minaj is set to pay Tracy Chapman $450,000 in the copyright infringement lawsuit brought upon the rapper by the singer-songwriter. The origins of the suit date back to 2018, when Chapman sued Minaj for the uncleared usage of her song "Baby Can I Hold You" as a sample in the rapper's track "Sorry."
After Nicki Minaj played her song "Sorry," featuring a Tracy Chapman sample, the folk singer announced that she's suing her for damages.
After Nicki Minaj told fans Tracy Chapman refused to clear a sample, they started spamming a fan page believing they were on her page.
