Aviel Hirschfield, the producer and rapper who sued Drake for copyright infringement over his hit “Janice STFU,” has withdrawn his lawsuit just over a week after filing it.

According to a report Rolling Stone published on Tuesday, October 27, Hirschfield voluntarily dropped his legal complaint against Drake 10 days after submitting the paperwork in a California court. Hirschfield alleged that he wrote and recorded the chorus for “Janice STFU” in January 2026 before sending it to FnZ, who’s credited as the song’s producer. Once he heard Drake’s ICEMAN album in May, Hirschfield noticed he wasn’t credited for the song.
