Lebo M Targets Viral Lion King Lyric Claim in $27 Million Lawsuit

Grammy-winning composer Lebohang Morake, known as Lebo M, is suing comedian Learnmore Jonasi in a California federal case for about $27 million over a viral claim that a line from The Lion King’s Circle of Life translates literally to a descriptive sentence. Morake says the isiZulu/isiXhosa chant is royal praise and not a simple description, and argues Jonasi acted with malice and monetized the joke. Jonasi has responded with a GoFundMe to cover legal fees and is selling ‘Look It’s a Lawsuit’ merch; he contends the matter should be resolved privately as the dispute escalates online.

Lebo M sues comedian over Lion King chant translation

Grammy-winning Lion King composer Lebo M (Lebohang Morake) is suing Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi for $27 million, alleging he misrepresented the opening chant’s meaning on a viral podcast by translating it as “Look, there’s a lion,” which Lebo M says harms his royalties and reputation; Jonasi contends the bit is comedy, not factual translation, and the case raises questions about parody protections while Lebo M seeks more than $20 million in actual damages plus $7 million in punitive damages, with a potential structured settlement being discussed after public exchanges.
