That one did not last long. The producer who sued Drake claiming the "Janice STFU" hook was lifted from his work has voluntarily withdrawn the case roughly 10 days after filing it, according to a court filing first reported by Rolling Stone and picked up by XXL and The Source.

The dismissal was reportedly filed without prejudice, which means the claim could in theory be brought again later.

Drake's camp had called the suit "manufactured and baseless" and maintained he wrote the song himself. The plaintiff has not publicly explained why he pulled it.
