As any lawyer knows, when you’ve got a celebrity as a client, things can get pretty interesting. That being said, perhaps you’ve heard about rapper 2 Milly’s lawsuit against Epic Games for the company’s alleged misappropriation of the “Milly Rock” dance in Season 5 of Fortnite. In the battle royale game, the dance emote is called the “Swipe It,” which is exactly what 2 Milly claims happened here — that Epic Games swiped his moves without permission and is now making money off the use of his likeness.
David L. Hecht, a partner at litigation boutique Pierce Bainbridge, is representing 2 Milly in his case against the video game developer, and his client just offered up “THE GREATEST LAW FIRM TESTIMONIAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!!”
