Post Malone Settles 'Circles' Copyright Lawsuit Just Before Trial.
TL;DR
Post Malone has settled a lawsuit with musician Tyler Armes, who claimed he co-wrote the hit song "Circles" during an all-night jam session in 2018 but was denied credit by the superstar. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, and the trial was set to begin on Tuesday. Armes sued Malone in 2020, claiming he played a key role in creating the song, which spent three weeks atop the Hot 100 and ultimately spent 61 weeks on the chart. Malone denied the allegations, arguing that Armes did not write or author any portion of the composition.
