Queen, Minaj recorded a song,
Sorry, which sampled part of Chapman s song
Baby Can I Hold You. Chapman refused all requests from Minaj for a licence to sample the song. As a result, Minaj did not include the song on
Queen. However,
Sorry was leaked to DJ Flex of Hot 97 Radio in New York, who played it on 11 August 2018.
In late 2020, a US District Court Judge decided in
Chapman v Maraj that Minaj s creation of the song was allowed under the fair use doctrine. However, there was not enough evidence to decide on the issue of whether the distribution of the song on Hot 97 Radio was also allowed.
