Mark Ronson and his ‘Uptown Funk‘ pal Bruno Mars have been accused of stealing music and using it to create their #1 single ‘Uptown Funk.’
Bad news below…
The Serbian singer Viktorija claims ‘Funk’ shares many similarities with her song ‘Dark Streets Are Not for Girls’ and has stepped forward to say she believes the song inspired 80% of what the world hears on ‘Uptown.’
However, she’s in no rush to sue them…yet.
She shared:
Their song Uptown Funk contains 80 percent of my tracks. How much of it are you allowed to take as inspiration for your song?I’m in no hurry to sue them, these processes take a long time, and my life and career does not depend on lawsuits.
For these lawsuits, there should be a lot of money, the lawyers are working on a percentage.
If I still decide to sue them and I win, I have to figure out what to do with that money.
The ‘Funky‘ duo are yet to respond.

Damn Bruno….
please they both sound like morris day and the times rips… I d sue the fk out of them!
Thank God. The songs ok but it had too much radio time. Its annoying now and it has to go.
Oh my little SAD Bruno. Your dad Jafar wants you to Marry Alladin and you don’t want to dissapoint him. You put corn rolls in your hair and dressed all nice. May I suggest breast implants and a better voice.
I’d say this is racist, but it doesn’t make any sense.
LOL try again.
Oh I was about to DRAG Marvin Gaye’s family if this was them again. Carry on ☺
lol 🙂
Actually! Roger Troutman made this song…
whatever, anytime someone is successful have something that is mega successful there is always someone out there trying to cut in on the money.
I COULD OF SWORN IT WAS BASICALLY A GAP BAND REMAKE OF OPPS UPSIDE YA HEAD…
So why say anything and throw these accusations around if you’re not going to proceed with legal actions?
I don’t hear any similarities. All I hear is “I want some of your money Bruno”
pathetic leeches.
prince should be suing them
People are tryna get paid outchea boy… First listeners accused Mark & co. for stealing the uptown sound from The Gap Band, now this???
I’m from Serbia. The first time I heard this song I was like. But wait? Isn’t this… lol That Serbian girl group was really big in the region. I wasn’t born but we still have their songs on the radio.
She needs to attend an accredited music school so she can actually legitimize her ridiculous claims. If anything her song Dark Streets Are Not for Girls’is a slower tempo version of Michael Jackson’s Workin’ Day And Night from Off The Wall. Look it up!
Folks stealing left and right!
Where on earth is the God given originality and talent!?
Another case of Blurred Lines. I hear the sample, but I thought Mark had all the samples cleared… Bey Inspired.
So all of a sudden white girls invent P funk. Smh
Dang those artists be suing out of everywhere
