NSTlifestyle: ArianaGrande and more than a half-dozen songwriters were sued for copyright infringement by a hip hop artist who says the pop star’s 2019 Grammy-nominated single 7Rings was plagiarised from a song he recorded two years earlier.
Josh Stone, who performs under the moniker DOT, says in his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in New York, that “highly regarded musicology experts” have concluded that Grande’s hit copied his song “You Need It, I Got It.”
Representatives for Grande, who is nominated for five Grammys at the awards show on Jan. 26, including two for “7 Rings,” did not immediately respond to a request by Reuters for comment. “7 Rings,” which gives songwriting credit to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein because it borrows from their classic “My Favorite Things,” from the 1959 film “The Sound of Music,” and spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts after it was released in February of last year.
Stone says in his lawsuit that he recorded “I Got It” in New York in January 2017 and that summer pitched the song to executives with Universal Music Group, including Thomas Brown, who has worked with Grande on all five of her albums.
