Tyla
Tyla has officially been removed from the legal battle surrounding her 2023 breakout hit, Water, after the case against her quietly fell apart.
The South African star is no longer facing any claims after two composers linked to the song, Olmo Zucca and Jackson LoMastro, voluntarily withdrew their lawsuit on February 5.
The pair had accused Tyla of cutting them out of master recording points, which would have entitled them to recording royalties on top of their publishing credits.
The case had already begun to unravel months earlier when Sony Music Entertainment was dropped as a defendant in November.
That move left Water producer Sammy SoSo as the only remaining party still facing legal action.
According to a source familiar with the matter, neither Tyla nor Sony paid any settlement to make the case go away.
Instead, the claims were abandoned after it became clear they had no legal standing. As the source put it, “the claims were dropped because it was made clear that they were baseless.”
