The case has been dismissed without prejudice...
From TMZ
A court document obtained by TMZ reveals the federal complaint by plaintiff Deon Best -- a former associate of the music mogul -- against Janice and her music publishing companies was dismissed without prejudice.
Best, known as "D1", originally sued Janice in January 2025, alleging she was involved in a scheme to defraud him of his intellectual property rights, royalties, and publishing revenues. He accused her of knowingly using her influence and name to take away his publishing rights and royalties, which he said caused significant financial and emotional harm to him.
He specifically alleged she took control of a song titled "Come with Me" -- which is featured on the 1998 "Godzilla" soundtrack. He argued he "controlled, owned, produced and/or created" the track ... but Janice got her hands on it through illegal actions.
He accused Janice of fraud, forgery, and hiding records to cover it up, and said he only discovered she "hijacked artist publishing" in late 2023.
D1 was asking for $33 million in damages, plus attorney fees and anything else a jury deemed fair.
