Jermaine Dupri: Ciara Ripped Off Usher’s U Got It Bad!
Ciara’s new joint “I Bet” is a good jam and Jermaine Dupri is saying it’s a total rip off!
Jermaine Dupri spoke to the Associate Press about Ciara’s new record I Bet.
Ciara’s new single is a complete rip-off of Usher’s ‘U Got It Bad. I’m clear on what I made and I’m clear on how music influences people and I’m clear on chord changes and how people move things…It might not be as evident as the ‘Blurred Lines’ situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me.
He also spoke about the recent lawsuit against Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and TI over Blurred Lines.
Them going to court was really more shocking than anything.” But, I can relate to both parties given the musical nature of being influenced by older classics.
I can hear a few elements of U Got it Bad but I think it’s a different song. Take a listen and let me know.
