Ariana Grande’s smash hit jam ‘Side to Side‘ has found itself in a web of legal trouble.
Full story below…
The single appeared on Grande’s latest album ‘Dangerous Woman’ and features the Hip-Hop royal Nicki Minaj.
Alas, this month has seen the ladies learn that they may be forced to prove how they and its writers created the jam now that a man named Christopher O’Connor claims that they ripped one of his jams to build it.
O’Connor believes that after sending the track above to the ladies’ label Universal they used a number of its elements to craft ‘Side’ without crediting him.
He’s suing UMG — not Grande or Minaj — asking for royalties from “Side To Side” (which currently has over a billion views on YouTube) and a song-writing credit.
Your thoughts?
Christopher is reaching with t-rex arms
Dead. Sounds nothing a like apart from 1 single cord. Man ppl are too funny. If you compare any random 2 songs side by side you’ll probably a similarity. This is complete garbage.
Issa reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach!
Go buy a stepladder, because all that reaching is going to hurt your back.
Lol what load of crap … you can’t get done for copyright for chords haha this is a joke
Are you joking? Sounds like he made on Song Maker.
???omg it’s terrible. Like a Nokia ringtone or something.
This lawsuit is dumb. Trashmine u should get a side pony tail like Arianas. Step ur game up ho.
did he make that song on a fisher-price toy or something..? lmao
Sue those b****** for being #FRAUDS!!
I could hear what he is saying. You have to know music to hear the similarities. Not a stretch.
If you sent your music to the record company, you would feel leary too. He has a case. Good luck Chris.
