Roc Nation artist, Victory Boyd, is suing Travis Scott, Future, and SZA, alleging that they took essential elements from her 2019 song
“Like The Way It Sounds”
for their 2023 single
“Telekinesis.”
According to Boyd, she first presented her song to Kanye West, who recorded it as
“Ultrasounds”
before allegedly passing it on to Scott. Boyd claims that Scott later shared her work with Future and SZA, who helped create
“Telekinesis.”
The lawsuit also implicates Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet, which collaborated with Scott’s Cactus Jack to promote a watch collection using
“Telekinesis.”
Boyd contends that she did not give her consent for her music to be featured in this promotional effort.
So far, the accused parties have not publicly commented on the allegations, and there have been no updates regarding any official court responses from either side.
