Ice
Spice
will
now
have
to
defend
her
name
in
a
court
of
law.
One
of
her
peers
says
she
lifted
a
large
part
from
his
song
for
“In
Ha
Mood”.
Digital
Music
News
is
reporting
that
the
Bronx,
New
York
native
is
being
sued
by
a
Brooklyn
MC
for
allegedly
shark
biting.
On
Wednesday,
Jan.
17
D.
Chamberz
(born
Duval
Chamberlain)
filed
a
lawsuit
at
Brooklyn
Federal
Court
against
Ice
Spice.
He
claims
that
her
2023
hit
“In
Ha
Mood”
took
elements
from
his
2021
single
“In
That
Mood”.
The
submitted
paperwork
details
his
complaint
saying
“by
every
method
of
analysis,
‘In
Ha
Mood’
is
a
forgery.
Any
proper
comparative
analysis
of
the
beat,
lyrics,
hook,
rhythmic
structure,
metrical
placement,
and
narrative
context
will
demonstrate
that
‘In
Ha
Mood’
was
copied
or
principally
derived
from
‘In
That
Mood.’”
His
legal
team
would
also
allege
that
the
resemblances
have
been
noticed
by
Hip-Hop
fans
prior
to
the
filing.
“Non-expert
listeners
have
independently
pointed
out
that
Defendants
‘stole’
‘In
That
Mood’
in
creating
‘In
Ha
Mood,’”
his
lawyer
wrote.
“The
two
songs
clearly
employ
numerous
noticeably
similar
composition
elements
and
lyrics,
which
result
in
a
sound
and
feel
that
are
very
much
alike.”
They
also
speculate
that
Ice
Spice’s
producer
RIOTUSA
was
familiar
with
“In
That
Mood”
saying
that
he
posted
an
Instagram
Story
of
him
listening
to
New
York
radio
station
HOT97
minutes
prior
to
the
song
being
played.
Additionally
the
lawsuit
points
to
RIOTUSA’s
father
DJ
ENUFF,
a
radio
personality
on
HOT97,
that
“actively
engaged
with
D.
Chamberz’s
social
media
content.”
Ice
Spice
has
yet
to
publicly
comment
on
the
matter.

That
Mood”
