A lawsuit against LMFAO from Rick Ross was revived on Friday (Dec 15).
In 2014 he sued the duo, Stefan Kendal Gordy (Redfoo) and Skyler Austen Gordy (SkyBlu), claiming its “Party Rock Anthem” chorus about daily shufflin’ rips off his lyric “everyday I’m hustlin.'”
A Florida federal judge in April 2016 tossed the lawsuit, finding that Ross didn’t have a valid copyright for “Hustlin.'”
An 11th Circuit panel Friday overturned the ruling, finding that while three copyright registrations had been filed and granted for the work and each contained errors, no one has contended Ross was not its true author.
