The composer of the Zulu chant from The Lion King’s “Circle of Life” has dropped his lawsuit against a comedian who joked about the song on a podcast — but the comic is now demanding that he repay his legal bills for filing a “frivolous” case.
Less than four months after South African musician Lebo M (Lebohang Morake) sued comic Learnmore Jonasi (Learnmore Mwanyenyeky) over his viral bit about the iconic Disney song, a federal judge dismissed the case Friday (July 10) because the accuser had voluntarily agreed to drop it.
