Yung Gravy and Rick Astley settled a lawsuit over the rapper's use of Astley's 1987 hit 'Never Gonna Give You Up' in his recent track 'Betty (Get Money).'
Neither Niborski nor Astley’s attorney, Richard Busch, responded immediately to The Times’ requests for comment on Thursday. Busch, whose former clients include Eminem, also has taken on Spotify and Universal Music Group in copyright cases.
Yung Gravy’s “Betty ” borrows heavily from “Never Gonna Give You Up,” from its catchy drum beat to the earlier tune’s iconic melody and synthesizer chords. It begins with what seems to be Astley’s signature baritone voice singing the familiar chorus, “Never gonna give you up / never gonna let you down / never gonna run around and desert you.” Then Yung Gravy raps his first verse. However, the voice the listener hears in the chorus actually isn’t Astley’s but producer Seeley‘s.
