The legal back-and-forth heats up over accusations that “No Guidance” was stolen from an earlier song.

, peaking at No. 5 in October 2019. It was also nominated for best R&B song at the 62nd Grammy Awards., Cooper and Valentine said the song had ripped off their 2016 track “I Love Your Dress.” Among other alleged similarities, the accusers pointed to the fact that each song featured the phrase “you got it” in the lyrical hook.

Tuesday’s strongly-worded response centered on the latter claims about obscurity and “access” to the earlier song. The pair argued it was far too early to decide the issue – and that an imbalance in relative fame was hardly a good form of evidence. The duo pointed to the allegation that an A&R representative at UMG’s Cash Money Records had actively solicited Cooper’s work and had “even proposed a meeting in Drake’s hometown.”
