GloRilla Files To Dismiss Lawsuit Accusing Her Of Stealing “All Natural, No BBL” Phrase
GloRilla‘s legal team is firing back at a copyright suit filed against her earlier this summer. Natalie Henderson (@slimdabodylast on Instagram) claimed the Memphis rapper stole the phrase “all natural, no BBL” from her and used it in her lyrics without consent. However, Glo is arguing to a judge that copyright law does not protect such a “common” and “cliched” expression.
“The phrase ‘natural[e], no BBL’ —referring to a person with a natural body who has not undergone the ‘Brazilian Butt Lift’ cosmetic procedure—is too common, everyday, trite, and cliched to be protectable by copyright,” her lawyers wrote in the Sept. 8 filing, obtained by Billboard.
“The phrase at issue in plaintiff’s song is not original and thus not copyrightable… Anyone who listens to the two songs should easily reach the conclusion that these songs are not substantially similar,” the motion went on. The document also cites seven other songs with similar verbiage and claims that even if the phrase was copyrightable, there’s no evidence that the “FNF” artist ever heard it from Henderson.

The bar in question is on Glo’s song 2024 song “Never Find,” which features the line: “Natural, no BBL/ but I’m still gon’ give him hell.” The track appeared on her GLORIOUS album, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, as a bonus record. Henderson shared the phrase in a song, writing, “All natural, no BBL/ Mad hoes go to hell,” and her attorneys argued at the time there are “unmistakable similarities between the two works.”
“Based upon a side-by-side comparison of the two songs, a layperson could hear similarities in the lyrics, arrangement, melody, core expression, content, and other compositional elements in both songs and conclude that songs are essentially identical,” they said.
This isn’t the first time Glo was hit with a lawsuit over alleged unauthorized usage of elements in her music. In 2023, she was sued by a producer over using unlicensed samples in her hit songs “Tomorrow” and “Tomorrow 2,” but the case was dismissed last year.
