Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar and SZA were hit with a lawsuit over the video for their Black Panther collaboration “All the Stars.” The plaintiff, British-Liberian visual artist Lina Iris Viktor, claimed that elements of her “Constellation” series of artworks were appropriated for the video, infringing upon her copyright. Now, Kendrick and SZA have asked the presiding judge to to grant a partial summary judgment blocking Viktor from receiving any profits from the single or the album, as TMZ reports and legal documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. (Find the full filing embedded below.)

The docs, filed yesterday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, state that even if Viktor could prove that the video contained elements of her art (which, they maintain, she cannot), “common sense and logic dictate that the alleged 19-second use of the artwork in the video” did not lead to the success of the song. The filing goes on to list some of “the virtually endless permutations of factors unrelated to the alleged use that might explain why millions of people have decided to stream or buy the Single or Album,” including “the worldwide popularity of Lamar, his music, and earlier videos; the worldwide popularity of [SZA], her music, and earlier videos; the numerous accolades, including a Pulitzer Prize, and dozens of Grammy and other nominations and awards that Lamar has garnered; the numerous accolades, including a large number of Grammy and other nominations and awards that [SZA] has received,” and much more. They call Viktor's suit “the epitome of litigation overreach.”

When reached for comment, Viktor’s lawyer gave the following statement to Pitchfork:

The defendants have filed a motion for partial summary judgment asking the Court to preclude indirect damages, i.e. damages for defendants’ profits from the sale of the single and the album attributable to the infringement in the music video. We have been expecting this motion and we are confident that the law on this issue is in our favor.
