Miley Cyrus’ Legal Team Claps Back at ‘Flowers’ Lawsuit: “This Case is as Weak as a Day-Old Bouquet”

Buy Me A Coffee

Miley Cyrus’ legal team just dropped a mic-worthy rebuttal to the lawsuit claiming her smash hit Flowers borrows too much from Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man. Spoiler alert: They’re not buying it, and they’ve got receipts.

The Petty Petal Drama Explained 🌺🕺
If you missed it, Miley, the queen of bangers and breakups, is being sued by Tempo Music Investments—a company that bought a slice of When I Was Your Man from one of its co-writers, Philip Lawrence. Not Bruno, though. Nope, Bruno Mars is just out here minding his own business, sipping piña coladas and making people feel like they’re “Locked Out of Heaven.”

Tempo, however, claims that Flowers sounds a little too When I Was Your Man-ish for their liking and is trying to cash in. Miley’s legal squad? Not today, Tempo!

Miley’s Lawyers: “Not All Roses Smell Sweet”
According to court docs snagged by Billboard, Miley’s team basically told Tempo, “Nice try, but this lawsuit doesn’t even have legs to stand on.” Why? Because apparently, When I Was Your Man has four co-authors, and Tempo only got rights from one of them. That’s like trying to throw a party with just one RSVP.

They didn’t stop there. Miley’s legal eagles also said that Tempo’s rights were non-exclusive, which is lawyer-speak for “you can hum the tune, but you can’t sue Miley without permission from everyone else.” Ouch.

And the cherry on top? Miley’s team dropped a verbal beatdown, calling out the “striking differences” between the two songs. Translation: “Our track is a heartbreak anthem for hot girl walks. Your song is for tearful karaoke after one too many tequila shots. Apples and oranges.”

Tempo’s Lawyers: “We’re Not Playing Second Fiddle!” 🎻
Not to be outdone, Tempo’s team fired back, calling Miley’s argument “bogus.” Their statement read something like: “We’re not just babysitting the copyright; we OWN it, okay? And the law says we can sue whoever we want. Checkmate.”

So, What’s Next?
Will this case get tossed out faster than a wilting flower bouquet, or will Tempo get its day in court? One thing’s for sure: Miley isn’t just sitting back and watching this unfold. She’s too busy thriving in her Flowers era, reminding us all that she can buy herself flowers and, apparently, defend herself in court like a pro.

Stay tuned, because this legal drama has more twists than a Miley music video.
