Justin Bieber‘s ‘Sorry’ has come under scrutiny!

Find out why below…

Released to support his album ‘Purpose‘, the Dancehall-inspired jam’s journey has seen it swerve into Litigious Lane after an artist named White Hinterland noticed similarities between the cut and one of her own.

Billboard reports:

White Hinterland, whose real name is Casey Dienel, claims the “unique characteristics of the female vocal riff” from her 2014 song “Ring the Bell” is the same as that used on Bieber’s track.

Eight seconds of the “Ring the Bell” riff is allegedly used six times in Bieber’s Purpose standout track.

The artist claims she asked camp Bieber to pull the riff from the cut in December but was ignored as sales of the song continued to rise globally.

    Lol good! She better scalp that d*** for every penny that wig’s worth too. Robin Thick vs Gaye’s Estate set a whole new precendent for music swagger jacking and some entertainers just don’t get a clue. I’m also tired of all these leaches stealing from the caribbean too whether it be the music or dancing then trying to rebrand it “Tropical Pop”. Wtf? Not even one dancer from the caribbean up in the video either.. FOH. Stop appropriating our shyte!

      Those were the nastiest lookin video h***, no s** appeal whatsoever

      • No favs, just here for the music May 27, 2016

        Also the dances didn’t even flow naturally. They were trying wayyyyy too hard to hit every move lmao

        @abel exactly yout know white people got low standards for women.

    • Danzou May 27, 2016

      So I’m not the only who noticed no black women in that sorry video? I completely agree with you. It’s like you read my mind and took the words from my mouth. I hope this appropriating ass wipe gets trashed for all he’s worth.

        Hey sis you still angry, racist & homophobic when are you going to come out and stop using my name.

    • Coolness May 27, 2016

      Yup, That 7 Million Dollar settlement Marvin Gaye’s Estate received after that music plagiarism trial was truly a game-changer. Damn, the opening riff of both songs sound incredibly similar. Not going to lie, ‘Sorry’ was a bop but damn, she about to get her coins.

    Karma always comes around! I’m starting to get sick of white people! There wasn’t a single black dancer in that sorry video and white people didn’t say anything about it! But when Beyoncé released formation and lemonade they went f****** insane! Not to mention I’m tired of white artists using black culture when they feel like it. You can’t just make a reggae record. God.

    • Diva May 27, 2016

      I agree with you 100% there is a double standard. However let’s give some white folks the benefit of the doubt and say some white people, I’m sure there’s some good ones left lol.

      • Danzou May 27, 2016

        Ok yeah some. You’re right. I just think it’s horrible how out of all the people on Justin team there wasn’t a single person who thought to include a black woman. Like how? Lol I mean seriously there’s about 15 plus people on an artists team usually and none of them thought of black people? In a reggae video? With Caribbean choreography? C’mon nah.

    Help, get yo money. Cause it’s clearly there.

  4. S****** Blonde May 27, 2016

    I haven’t listened to Justin’s song but this isn’t bad, I like her art.

  5. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 27, 2016

    There isn’t any black woman in the video? Lmfao there are at least two woman darker than beyonce in this video.
    And they aren’t video hoès. They are a dance crew under scooter Braun. And they also featured in CL’s video – Hello bi+ches

    • Danzou May 27, 2016

      Darker than Beyoncé doesn’t mean they’re black or Caribbean you turd.

  6. brazio May 27, 2016

    Oh my…it is

  7. Jay May 27, 2016

    You can’t get no clearer than that. I mean, it’s obvious as f***.
