The Weeknd Settles Copyright Infringement Lawsuit.

The Weeknd has reached a settlement in a copyright infringement lawsuit over his 2018 track "Call Out My Name" with electro duo Epikker, who claimed the song plagiarized the vocal hook and lead guitar from their unreleased song "Vibeking." The settlement terms were not disclosed, but Epikker's lawsuit sought all of the song's profits as well as legal fees. The Weeknd was also recently named as one of the defendants in a class action lawsuit against the creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
