That's literally what they're saying. That he fucked his credibility before this and won't be taken seriously if he sues.

I read it the other way, as "THIS CLAIM fucked his credibility", for this specific theme.

West's credibility was super in question before, that's obvious and no argument there.

But that won't get a lot of weight with respect to a specific court case where he's suing for royalties.

"Your honor, the plaintiff's generally not credible" isn't a starting argument.

But if instead it's "Your honor, we can specifically demonstrate where the plaintiff had made misleading claims about ownership and creation of the concept that is the theme of their frivolous lawsuit" (or however a decent lawyer would put it), suddenly it's really relevant.

Sailed, mutinied, entire crew filled with scurvy and gangrene, burst into flames, and sank beneath the waves, never to be seen again.

That ship sailed and sank so dramatically, James Cameron is going to make a movie about it.

That ship sailed and went so poorly, that Kanye is suing Steven Spielberg for stealing his idea.
