The lawsuit was over a song pre-dating Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' breakthrough.
This morning, December 29, he posted a screenshot of Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do For Love” to his Instagram Story and wrote over it, “mfer sued the hell outta me but he got down on this” with two crying emojis. [Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/lil-nas-x-sony-music-lawsuit-carry-on-sample-bobby-caldwell-8523927/) at the time, Lil Nas X was sued by The Music Force for copyright infringement over his independently released single “ [Carry On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KcUuHBjrb0).” The Music Force claimed Lil Nas X “appropriated parts” of [Caldwell’s song of the same name](https://open.spotify.com/album/49gYESUIs0Wk80IhUgnbsY?si=jkTDKgOjQDisNZRki2epVQ&nd=1) and asked for “the court to determine that Lil Nas X’s ‘Carry On’ is a joint work.” [his campaign to take over Twitter](https://uproxx.com/music/lil-nas-x-twitter-ceo/), [his perfect comeback to Andrew Tate](https://uproxx.com/music/lil-nas-x-andrew-tate-smash/), or [his wholesome selfie with Will Ferrell](https://uproxx.com/music/lil-nas-x-will-ferrell-butt-grab/), he’s clearly way too busy to hold a grudge.
Lil Nas X reacted to a Steve Lacy thirst trap earlier this month, but he's back today, December 29, as the center of internet attention.
Even [Tierra Whack](https://uproxx.com/music/lizzo-tierra-whack-santigold-beyonce-shout-outs/) got in on the fun. [December 29, 2022] He posted [a complimentary Instagram Story](https://uproxx.com/music/lil-nas-x-song-sued-bobby-caldwell-carry-on/) about an “mfer” who “sued the hell outta me,” and that was in line with his usual entertaining stream of consciousness, but the main attraction was a separate post about his hair.
