Troubled singer chris brown is in hot water for stealing the beat of another track for his own club single “Yeah 3x”.
Calvin Harris was stunned to hear the similarities between his single “I’m Not Alone” and brown’s club-tinged song off his upcoming “F.A.M.E.” (Forgiving All My Enemies) album.
Over the weekend, the Scottish musician took to his Twitter page to complain about brown hijacking his beat:
He has every right to be pissed: brown’s synthesized beat and Harris’ are nearly identical. Though the track was produced by a DJ, it behooves chris brown and his label to make sure the music is free and clear of samples or rights.
Harris plans to take legal action against brown and his record label.
