GloRilla Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Over 'No BBL' Lyric as Unprotectable Phrase

The filing contends the disputed line is an unoriginal expression not supported by proof of access.

Overview

  • GloRilla’s attorneys filed a Sept. 8 motion asking a judge to toss a June lawsuit that claims she lifted the phrase “natural, no BBL.”
  • The plaintiff, Instagram user Natalie Henderson, alleges she originated the wording in a song featuring “All natural, no BBL / Mad hoes go to hell.”
  • GloRilla’s 2024 track “Never Find” includes “Natural, no BBL / but I’m still gon’ give him hell,” which Henderson’s lawyers say shows “unmistakable similarities.”
  • The dismissal bid argues short, common phrases are not copyrightable and cites at least seven other songs with similar wording, while asserting no evidence of GloRilla’s access to Henderson’s work.
  • The judge has not ruled on the motion, leaving the case’s future—dismissal or further proceedings—pending.
