‘Prismatic’ performer Katy Perry is being sued for the alleged theft of ideas pulled from a Christian Rap song to create her own #1 smash hit single, ‘Dark Horse.’
Why Perry is now being branded a “witchcraft” endorsing thief by the claimant?
Full story below…
St.Louis today reveals:
The suit says that Perry and her co-writers infringed the copyright of the Christian song “Joyful Noise” and have exploited and profited from its use.
It also says that “Joyful Noise” has been “irreparably tarnished by its association with the witchcraft, paganism, black magic, and Illuminati imagery evoked by the same music in ‘Dark Horse’.”
“Joyful Noise” was written in 2007 and released in 2008. The song received a 2008 Gospel Music Association Dove Award nomination for the best rap/hip-hop song, the suit says.
The album, “Our World: Redeemed,” received a Grammy Award nomination for best rock or rap gospel album and a Stellar Award nomination for rap album of the year in 2008.
Eric Kayira, one of the lawyers for the hip-hop artists, said that comparisons of the songs “percolated” various places online and eventually made their way to the performers’ ears.
The suit was filed by Christian hip-hop musicians Flame, born Marcus Gray, and Chike Ojukwu, both of St. Louis, as well as Lecrae Moore, of Atlanta, and Emanuel Lambert, of Aldan, Pa.
It names Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson; Juicy J, born Jordan Michael Houston; Dr. Luke, born Lukasz Gottwald; Max Martin of California; Cirkut, born Henry Russell Walter; Sarah Theresa Hudson of California; and Capitol Records LLC.
Perry’s publicist did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Produced by Dr.Luke, Max Martin and Cirkut, ‘Horse’ has sold over 5 million copies in the US alone since its December 2013 release, and was lifted from the singer’s fourth studio album ‘Prism.‘
So, are the cuts any similar?

Payola didn’t work with her single Unconditionally despised releasing it for her life. True shade
The Rihanna navy won’t let this Prism lady to snatch riri’s wig on billboard hot 100 number ones
R****** might be really scared. Katy is never been a threat to Bey. They are not on the same level
Only Rihanna is threatened and probably she will be slayed by perry in two years with more number ones (in the tune of beyonce song *superpower)
Why can’t someone sue fraudyonce ? Fraudyonce is a true difinition of stealing.
Receipts please.
They should sue Rihanna for performing live in the Grammys. It is considered blasphemy
Lots of Katy’s haters!!!! Lol
Katy has more number one singles than Beyonce and now she is coming for Rihanna’s ass. The wig got to go!
Yeah she has more number one singles yet her albums continue to collect dust on the shelves in music stores
Actually Prism is charting higher than Beyonce’s Visual Album in Billboard 200. lmfao!!!
Prism #35
Beyonce #81
I don’t give flying shiit about current chart positions katy has two number one singles her album has been discounted countless times she has been on major award shows and performing yet her album has failed to go two double platinum I won’t even talk about teenage dream beyonce has no number one single yet she has managed to go double platinum despite the fact that she is charting lower than Katy
Face it Katy is nothing but a bubblegum artist people when spit her out when they eventually get tired of her gimmicky ass
Beyonce remains unbothered
Rihanna is panicking already and have to think of a new gimmick
Smh to all of you.
Lana del Rey UltraViolence #1
Born to Die #31
Katy perry prism -#35
Beyawnce #81 gag
Lana is flop just like the people that Stan for her basic ass
Don’t worry Hun Katy is going to catch her sales like a dark horse.
They should suing the producers, not her.
But she shelled out all that cash to get that bogus co-writing credit so… She’s legally accountable as well.
Beyonce should release Partition to counteract Perry’s Birthday which I hate
Go ahead. Katycats beats bey hives once and we are going to beat them again. Remember Dark Horse Vs Drunk In Love. Guess who won.? Katy Perryyyyyy.
Try again.
Prism Vs Beyonce ???
wow i’m a little disappointed cause they obviously copied the christian rap song…
Not surprised. Most of these pop tarts are uncreative.
#Typical
Katy fans shouldn’t fight with beehives coz bey likes Katy a lot and vise versa.
I’m hoping that Katy and her team solve this.
I kinda like Katy coz my daughter likes her a lot
Right now beyonce sold more than Prism in US but worldwide prism is ahead. That’s according to the media traffic.
Due to current chart positions of their albums and sales most likely and definitely will prism will surpassed Beyonce visual album but it will take time. Try again kii.

Katy is currently number 35 in billboard 200 which is higher than #81. Lol
Never say never coz the reality is scary.
Katy sold 72 million records of singles. Rihanna comes close with 52 million. Now where’s beyonce? Hiding in her weave
Try again
Not surprised. Payola queens are not known for their creativity.
The only thing worse than Katy Perry’s untalented ass is a bunch of insane, conspiratorial Christians.
They sound VERY similar. Like undeniably similar. Do better Katy.
Damn the last 5 minutes on that 15 minute fame clock is loud!
Wth? Riri is not Beyawnce. Katy can snatched Beyawnce wigs easy but not Riri.

Artists with the most number-one singles in US Mainstream Top 40 or Pop
Lady Gaga is the only musical artist in history to have her first six singles all reach the number-one position on this chart.
Mariah Carey holds the record for the highest debut with Dreamlover at no. 12
Katy Perry, Rihanna (11)
Pink (9)
Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga (7)

Poor Beyonce got slayed in the charts by justin, gaga, pink, Riri and Katy. Oh na na
Pink if u want to get the party started then you better stop comparing king bey to Pink coz we all know King Bey is superior in everything
Beyonce is now irrelevant. No match and can’t keep up to Riri and Katy
Love her song Firework but Queen Adele is still the best
I wanna see Adele dancing single ladies first and sing halo first before we talk
Ewww, drunk in love is a ghetto song.
Stay by Riri is a song with class
I LUV KATY PERRY PERFORMANCES CUZ LIKE ITS SO CREATIVE AND AMAZING! SHES HAVING A CONCERT AT PRUDENTIAL CENTER IN JULYYY
Katy had a cool performance and love the song but she can’t sing live or dance….
I’m gonna choose Beyoncé because she sounded amazing! Better than the cd itself and her performance was just so eye catching and I can’t even..
Paws up and wait ARTPOP 2, bitchesss!!!!
B****, rihanna can shut the f*** up and f****** die in a goddamn hole. BEY is da queen of my woooorld.. but i dunno bout chu but dammmmmnnn. Rihanna can shove her phone up her ass.
So much for Bey being a queen but the b**** can’t even do the slightest favor of actually singing live in concert…. I’ll wait
Who’? Never heard of her
I honestly think Beyonce is all hype. I mean I know im literally gonna start a shitstorm of little psychopaths that have no self esteem and treat celebrities like gods and goddesses, but honestly, idc. People literally worship her, thats crazy! And for what reason for might i ask? But hey what do i know? 😛
I’m just a person on da interwebs.
Beyonce is a FAKE and a LIAR! the only QUEEN she can ever be is a QUEEN OF MY TOILET WITH MY S*** IN IT. don’t think she’s the “queen” in the music industry because she’s not even that good. smh
