Judge Birotte Reverses Course, Dismissing Core Dembow Copyright Claims Against Bad Bunny and 150+ Artists

U.S. District Judge André Birotte Jr. reversed a prior ruling on Sept. 1, 2026, dismissing the central copyright claims in a lawsuit filed by Steely & Clevie against over 150 artists, including Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Drake. The judge determined that the plaintiffs failed to identify a single copyrighted work containing the specific musical arrangement they claimed to own, effectively blocking the case from proceeding to trial on the dembow rhythm. While this major victory ends the broadest portion of the suit, narrower claims regarding direct sampling of sound recordings remain active.
