Tamar Braxton Faces Song Stealing Claims In New Lawsuit

Published: Thursday 5th Jun 2014 by David

Grammy-nominated performer Tamar Braxton has found  herself in scolding hot legal water this week, after a songwriter has claimed that Braxton and one of her writers used her lyrics and vocals to complete the star’s song ‘One of One Fun‘…but did not credit her for doing so.

What went down?

Emmi Kozulin‘s story below…

According to Kozulin, she co-wrote the number ‘One on One Fun‘ with ‘Empire State of Mind’ writer Angela Hunte for Braxton’s sophomore album ‘Love & War.

Then, after demoing the jam for Braxton, Kozulin claims that Hunte took the cut to Braxton, who recorded it and joined producer Diplo, Hunte and LaShawn Daniels on its songwriting credits…allegedly leaving nothing for Kozulin, whose vocals she says were used in the cut’s final edit, without her permission!

Quite interestingly, despite being credited as one of its writers, Tamar’s reps posit that the legal drama “has nothing to do with her”, and is between Hunte and Kozulin, who-if successful in her suit- will be entitled to 50% of its royalties and damages.

    Here’s what happened.
    The two women wrote the song away from Tamar but then Tamar and the guy Lashawn bullied them into giving them a percentage of the song so the Hunte lady thought f*** that other b**** and cut her out so she wouldn’t have to share any more of the publishing with her.
    F****** disgusting.

    She really wants to be Beyonce doesn’t she?

    • Sam Loves Rihanna June 5, 2014

      Tamar tries to be Beyonce on stage and with wigs, releases Keyshia Cole sounding songs as singles (Love & War and The One), sings like her sister Toni and hires Brandy’s most successful writing team…and she still doesn’t go gold. This is why the Tamartians are late for stanning for this carbon copy queen.

      • Mimi shower rod June 5, 2014

        Lol let us Stan for our own artist u and the other bees give reposing for the android b**** called beyonce…. Not because u wear blonde wigs n twerks makes u that s*** called android beyonce…. U bey hive think that everyone wants to be that fake witch, y’all just intimidated and stupid just like her… She sounds like a 4 year old child n y’all attitudes are just like that.. She can’t speak to save her life I will say this she is a great performer but we all know that b**** is faker than the finger nail women wear!!! N u so call smart ppl saying she following her cuz bey did get accuse of the same thing just shows how ignorant u bees are…. U guys just keep stinging ppl n forgetting that u will die afterwards

    • Rih Rih Stole Future From CiCi June 5, 2014

      Should the Tamartians be called the BeyHive-lites?

  3. Malachi June 5, 2014

    that’s something that needs to be discussed between the writers obviously it wasnt to Tamar’s knowledge that the song was not given the credit it is due

    • QueenCeline June 5, 2014

      But Tamar was one of the writers, so how wouldn’t she know who else wrote the song? Unless you’re coming to admit that she DIDN’T write the song but took it and said that she did.

    • HighwayUnicorn June 5, 2014

      Even if that’s true you’ve just proved that Tamar is just as clueless as folks say she is 2bh. Are you admitting that she has songs on her album written by folks she wouldn’t know from a hole in the wall? What kind of artist is that?

      • Tamartain June 5, 2014

        actually she made it more tamar. That’s what she always does they present the songs to her demo style and she sings and re-write over it. You know put the things she would normally say over it. She has no control over who does what. Look at Tamar and vince she just sings and re-writes she leaves lashawn and the rest of the crew do the rest.

    • llawrence June 5, 2014

      b******* tamar knew what time it was, and her ass knew that was not her voice. when this case goes to court tamar is not going to understand it. if she won any awards she will have to give that back. we should call her muppet/millievanilly. I knew there was something about tamar that didn’t add up that is why those other 5 labels dropped her ass. Her and Vince need to pay the IRS and this young lady for those songs. K.Michelle is somewhere laughing her ass of. this is ratchet.com

  4. likedbymany June 5, 2014

    One on One fun is my s***!
    Love when she performs it live. And Tip Toe.

    Yasssss you better steal queen!

  5. UnthinkableKeys June 5, 2014

    Makes perfect sense to me. Obviously, Tamar and LD have been on their Beyonce/Lauryn Hill s*** and want credit on every song so they kick out the little guy to make room for themselves.

    • FAF June 5, 2014

      This is not the same as Lauryn’s

      Lauryn’s suit claimed they helped with the melody, not the writing

      • Iamdiego June 5, 2014

        melody is considered writing an arrangement.

  6. BeyBeyKing June 5, 2014

    A word of advice Tamar. STOP. B tried to do the same thing and lost 90% of the time because she was stealing from writers.

    • Joseline Hernandez June 5, 2014

      Hasn’t K. Michelle outsold Tamar already???

  7. Beyonce June 5, 2014

    First you stole my style, then you stole Brandy’s writers and now you out here stealing b******’ songs?! I taught you well.

    • RihIcon June 5, 2014

      Kiii

  8. NaviKissKiss June 5, 2014

    This is why she didn’t win any Grammys this year. you know the committee be knowing all of this s*** which is why The Fraud didn’t get nominated for Listen.

    • TipToe4Tamar June 5, 2014

      You should be the last one to talk about Grammys boo boo. Rihanna still doesn’t have one for album of the year after SEVEN albums? What is that thing that you guys say? Poor dat? Yeah b****, poor dat!

      • RihIcon June 5, 2014

        But sis she always wins best urban contemporary album. And how many does Tamar have again? Zero? Oh.

    • Absolved June 5, 2014

      Has Rihanna paid that funeral home yet, or has the bill gone to collections for Jay-Z to have to pay off. She’ll be picking Roc Nation’s cotton 10 years after she dies!

  9. LovebirdTGJ June 5, 2014

    LOL, She really does want to be like Beyonce.

    • TamarDidThat June 5, 2014

      And every stripper wants to be like Riwhore.

      • Sam Loves Rihanna June 5, 2014

        And the Tamartians are the LATEst fanbase of them all because they are stanning for a Beyonce wannabe. The Tamartians should be the BeyHive Lites.

      • RancorNV June 5, 2014

        Hey, at least Tamar can sing – which in and of itself justifies her having fans. Rihanna is totally talentless and needs nonsense like Instagram as a career tool.

      • llawrence June 5, 2014

        yea tamar did that she used someone else’s voice and song I knew tamar was a fake cause I went to the r. Kelly concert and tamar was trying to drop it like bey and she had to use her hands to help herself up off the floor. tamar you will never be bey. let’s she what is going to happen to tamar now nobody in the industry will ever work with her. Vince I know you wish you would have never signed this fake ass girl.

  10. CassieSlaytura June 5, 2014

    Tamar, aren’t you taking this Beyonce obsession a little to far?

  11. BaddieBey June 5, 2014

    To be honest I personally like Tamar better than Beyonce everytime someone put on a blone wig with curls yall clam they trying to be like her beyonce is not original she did not make blone hair she do not! Make up her dance moves just like the other artists they all have choreographers she’s been in the hot seat plenty of times for stealing someone else’s material yall beyhive just to dumb to see it I mean bey can definitely perform but yall just to much with this s***

    • Hate haters June 5, 2014

      Agree to the core

  23. Cassandra chue June 5, 2014

    Career Ender should stop, are u that stupid. John legend first wk was 68,000- he is now 531,000. Tamar’s first wk was 114,000- now 383,000. BTW she has been on EVERY talk show, magazine, radio, tv, touring etc, should have gone gold by now with all those promotion. You also look a fool coming for Marian’s Grammy when Tamar has none!!

  24. NJQT June 5, 2014

    The suit does not claim that she stole the song:

    Kozulin claims Hunte gave the song to Braxton for her album “Love and War.” Kozulin admits Hunte had the right to license the lyrics … but Kozulin claims Braxton’s recorded version included vocals from Kozulin’s version … and that crosses the line.

  25. NJQT June 5, 2014

    Why do you all sit on here comparing OTHER PEOPLE’S accomplishments? None of those Grammy’s album sales etc…are YOURS. #getyourownlife

    I will stop dragging sluttyana the day I see a project that her own ideas, artistry and genuity is involved in. B**** can’t even write her own damn songs. Every song she has is being handed over to her by other writers. She doesn’t even respect her navy enough to give them a decent performance….she is so lazy as an artist! I see no talent in rihanna at allllll! Katy perry is more talented. At least she writes her damn song! Rihanna’s career is based on luck and JayZ

    @Molly
    Girl Ciara is not a singer she’s a dancer
    With a weak as voice so I suggest u don’t
    Talk about singing in general when ur whispering
    Fave can barely hold a falsetto note .

    I couldn’t care less about Tamar, I just wanna say that Rihanna looks like Roger from American Dad. That head. That freakishly LARGE head! We won’t even talk about her “talent,” since she has none! 😉

    • JanBey June 5, 2014

      But rihanna has talent boo…she can suck d*** 🙂 and I love her anyway

    • Vandrea June 5, 2014

      I don’t watch American Dad so I had to Google search what you were talking about and………………………….ROFL!
