According to information from TMZ, D.Chamberz is filing a lawsuit against rapper Ice Spice, alleging copyright infringement related to the hit “In Ha Mood.” The lawsuit claims that Ice Spice copied not only the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic composition, metric placement, but also the background of D.Chamberz’s original song, titled “In That Mood.”

The rapper claims to have released his original version, “In That Mood”, a year before Ice Spice released hers, and claims to have performed the song on several occasions in New York City, at locations near Ice Spice’s residence and his producer, Riot.
The lawsuit highlights that D.Chamberz made his music available on all major digital platforms in January 2022. His legal team argues that Ice Spice’s team and producer copied the song after hearing it. D.Chamberz claims that the timeline of his music can be traced back to dates that significantly predate the release of Ice Spice’s hit single. The rapper also claims that his song was played on New York’s Hot 97 FM, and that the play time can be easily tracked to prove that his song was released first. To date, Ice Spice’s team has not issued a public statement on the matter and has not responded to TMZ’s requests for comment.
