According to Gudasz, she first heard about the potential sample through DMG Clearances, a company that specializes in obtaining music licenses for various purposes. After Gudasz informed DMG that she was the sole writer and publisher of the song, as well as the sole owner of its recording and composition, DMG told her they were working with French Montana, who’d used “Femme Fatale” as a sample on “Blue Chills.
DMG and Gudasz lawyer, Shawn Nolan, “negotiated most or all material terms” of a licensing contract. Per the suit, the deal would’ve netted Gudasz $7500 upfront, plus a 50 percent share of the “Blue Chills” publishing and .08 percent of the new song’s master royalties. But on June 17, 2022 before the deal was completed and signed, Gudasz claims French Montana released “Blue Chills” .
