In their written apology, the producers behind the copyright infringement lawsuit admitted Karol G recorded \u2018Gat\u00fabela\u2019 two weeks before their song was published on YouTube<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tTwo producers have issued a public apology to Karol G<\/a> after suing the superstar singer last year with claims her song \u201cGat\u00fabela,\u201d from her album Ma\u00f1ana Ser\u00e1 Bonito<\/em><\/a>, copied elements from a track they previously released on YouTube titled \u201cPunto G.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tProducers Jack \u201cOcean Vibes\u201d Hernandez and Alfred \u201cAlfr3d Beats\u201d Caballero Rodriguez filed their lengthy apology letter in federal court on Wednesday after a mediation revealed their copyright infringement claims had no merit, they said. The written mea culpa accompanied a joint agreement confirming that Karol G and her co-writers, including Marvin \u201cDJ Maff\u201d Hawkins Rodriguez, paid no settlement money to secure the case\u2019s dismissal. Under the deal, each side will cover its own attorney\u2019s fees, while Karol G and her collaborators agreed to pay the mediation costs.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cDuring discovery, defendants provided evidence, including session files, that establish that DJ Maff independently created the beat months earlier and that Karol G recorded \u2018Gat\u00fabela\u2019 two weeks before \u2018Punto G\u2019 was published,\u201d the apology states. \u201cGiven this evidence, we have decided to dismiss our lawsuit and wish to sincerely apologize to Karol G and DJ Maff for our mistaken claims and public allegations. We were wrong.\u201d (The producers also agreed to post the apology in English and Spanish on their social media accounts.)<\/p>\n
