Ed Sheeran has been accused of plagiarism again.
This time? By a company which claims he ripped off Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get it On’ to create ‘Thinking Out Loud.’
Bad news for the singer/songwriter below…
Forced to credit the writers of TLC‘s ‘No Scrubs’ after it was agreed he’d used portions of the jam to build ‘Shape of You‘, Ed is now accused of stealing a large chunk of ‘Let’s Get it On’ to make ‘Loud’.
Enraged by what they see as habitual song stealing, Structured Asset Sales filed a $10 million lawsuit as they represent one of the song’s writers…Edward Townsend.
The Gaye family is yet to announce if they plan to get in on the legal action and sue Ed on Marvin’s behalf.

chile…lmfaoooooo
He gave FIoponcé her first and last number one single this decade
lmfaooooooooooooooooooo facts!
Which was quickly snatched back from billboard and replaced by the version without her. Sad.
@Meme..I love how bent out of shape you become when people come for your coke snorting fave,.yet will do the same to others. Hilarious.
actually, she gave him that considering “perfect” is basically her version of “ave maria.” ed sheeran do be stealing from the girls. he was not going to originally credit tlc or kandi for “shape of you”
The remix started tanking midweek. Billboard was kind enough to put her name. Fraudoncé is chart poison.
Did you forget about Mi Gente?
Good. I’m glad this thieving trash is getting sued. Always stealing of d black artists with his corny thieving ass.
Shenniqua darling just tell your nana The Rock church on Hoffman Dr, near Hoffman park and target has the kitchen open every day and is giving free food away all days from 6pm to 9pm. If you need meat from church they give it on Monday’s.
Hope that helps you.
Bless you. And send kisses to your nana.
…Another crazy Jasmine fan. I do not know any of these ghetto places you refer to. I live in a gated community in Pacific Palisades. Let me guess you are from Compton or watts and that is the homeless shelter you stay at there because we relocate homeless people in my neighborhood and in malibu to the ghettos where they belong. I’m a lifetime vegetarian and a newbie vegan so keep on eating those toxic meats if u want to but keep my name out of your mouth man. If u approach me nicely I would have told u how to get ur money up and get one of those habitat for humanity houses in watts. I volunteered and helped build a couple of those houses.
I catch your lie honey! If you’re real and you want to prove it just show the receipts! It’s easy just send you’re ig or twitter user and we’ll check.
I love the way you try to dodge this after all that speech abt being rich and having a good job and a great home and a nice husband and being from Malibu ???
Mrs Big Makeup blogger with 1M followers show us any of your vids come on or are u afraid!
You’re jailed in your own web of lies.
If someone here seen any of her vids or pics on ig please feel free to share!
And other thing lower down your ego, you’re always the one attacking and talking s*** to everyone here, and almost everyone knows you’re a troll, if not instead of bragging you should just show us your WEALTHY LIFE.
And god stop, you’re attacking a elderly woman and calling her poor? God u’re just a spineless h**!
Show us the RECEIPTS!!
Marco it is obvious you and “Fatima” are the same person. That is the only way you know she is an “elderly woman”. It is okay boo. You can join the Jasmine fan club too. Membership is only 5K a year and you get access to all my health and beauty secrets, insider knowledge into the entertainment industry, access to my private IG page where you can look at pics of me all day long, career coaching, and invited to my annual holiday party with live performances / appearances by all of the acts I manage / work with. See there is no reason for you to be jealouse of me any longer. Join the fan club and love on me like all my other fans do. BTW, I love the gays. Gays show me lots of love / financial support and I have plenty of love for them in return.
Nice try desar! I know she’s elderly just like you know from when you two exchanged comments a few days ago maybe you have brain damage or something like that. She is a friend of your mother or something like that.
First of all no one here is jealous of you maybe I have pity of you but not jealous. You’re just a lying girl who’s dying from so many lies, you can’t keep with them.
Second I’d never support someone like you, you’re like Miss Banks, you attack everyone, answer every comment and put those hands in someone’s business and then just plain scream bullying and play the victim. You’ve done that more than once. Then you say you’re sorry you never wanted to attack those people and would never do it again. And a few posts after just do that same s***. We’re sick of you abusing everyone here, when will tgj take measures against you? On Beyoncé & Jay apeshit post you even attacked a few of us after posting that fake ass apology.
Now you been exposed, it was YOU who bragged abt your life and all those followers and it was YOU who talked about being a make up blogger with 1M followers on ig. If that is true prove us that.
If not just continue to make that fake ass victimization game you do after attacking everyone.
And last but not least you don’t know me I never bragged or mistreated anyone here, is not you business but I’m a gay man yes and to me that’s not a insult, gay and proud thanks.
Stop calling people “Queen” and supposing they are gay without knowing them, that is just plain ignorant and homophobic!
Thank you for proving my point. I don’t lie. If you gonna accuse me of lying then the burden of proof is on you dumb ass. I’ll wait. You are the liar. Where exactly did I call you a “queen”? If I did you confirmed I was right. Gay people call each other “queen”, “girl”, “b|tch”, and worse so I am not being homophobic by calling a gay man a queen. Like I said before I DON’T LIE. If I call you a queen then you are acting like queen.
Lastly, chill with your personal attacks. I have no reason to lie about my personal accomplishments, lifestyle, business accomplishments, and influence on others. You are certainly jealous of me and it shows by you finding my reality unfathomable. I don’t “mistreat” anyone on here. I have a kind heart. I treat people the way they treat me. If you are kind to me you get kindness back. If you are nasty or mean to men then I will put you in check. I am not a doormat and I do not appreciate you cyber bullying me or calling me a liar. You don’t even have a profile pic and you want free access to my fan club. Girl bye. Take your cheap asss on somewhere. You probably can’t even afford a measley 5K stacks anyway which is why you think bullying me will get u free access. You have to pay like everybody else. I have lots of gay fans who love on me and I have love for them. They are always learning beauty tips from me and all of my hair dressers have been gay queens who love the fullness of my natural hair so it is your loss. You choose to hate on me instead of love on me. You are dismissed. Now sashay away queen!
YOU FILTHY BIATCH GO WAS YOUR VIPER TONGUE. SOME GAY MAN CALL THAT TO THEIR FRIENDS YOU RE RIGHT. ARE YOU A GAY MAN OR A UGLY TRASH PHONY BOT ?
SHUT UP GURL AND GO WASH YOURSELF MAINLY THAT POISONING TONGUE!

Look to shout us up just prove you’re real what’s the deal?
You act like trump, just blatantly lie and when you get caught deny everything and ask the ones who’re accusing you for evidence? You dumb s*** you’re the real whiner of that grape juice. Now I’m laughing so hard at you, I’ve been calling you fake for all these months and I never taught about it, if you wanna prove you’re real yeah send us your Instagram or twitter id and you shout us all up. I even make you a favor and follow you girlfriend…

Já agora como gosto tanto de te ouvir falar em português vá minha vadia…só de quatro é que andas bem sua putéfia mentirosa, vai enfiar os dedos na rachinha que ninguém aí irá enfiar nada.
Xoxo
Your Bff
Susana Pinto
The jealousy is real from these very tired queens. It’s okay boos. Jasmine has love for you but you must treat me nicely otherwise I will check you. I am open to accepting your apologies. Arguing with men who act / talk more effeminate than b|tches is pointless. You are dismissed queens. Now sashay away.
Bruno mars is next…he is a thief
uptown funk got 100 lawsuits.. but that race-chameleon midget is getting away with ripping off every 80s artist
Yes and no. A lot of 80s artists did not write their own hits, except Madonna / Prince / Lionel Richie / MJ. The real song writers and studio engineers date back to the 70s who a lot of 80s artists copied from.
lmao u can take madonnasaur off that list. that h0 did not write her own music, her producers & engineers did. still do lmfaooo.
You guys are preaching today ALL FACTS
I love Ed music but DAMN
Good! I’ve been saying for a while that his music is derivative of other artist and even in this time of ‘nothing’s new’ he doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he rips off other artist.
everything is inspired. that’s the basis of creativity is building on ideas from other places, but it becomes thievery when you don’t give credit and cut the check!
I knew this was coming, the mashup has been on YouTube for a long time. I can hear the similarities although it’s not as bad as Robin Thicke, which was a stronger case of copyright infringement in my opinion.
As much as I can’t stand Ed Sheeran and his voice and music, I still can’t for the life of me hear No Scrubs sounding anything like the Shape of You song. By agreeing to add the songwriters of Scrubs to the credits to avoid a lawsuit, he seems to have opened himself up to more threatened lawsuits.
Caleb in the video above it is clear that he stole the melody and singing style of No scrubs. The lyrics are different which threw me off but hearing the mashup I get exactly what Ed did. Its like taking someone else’s song melodiy and singing style and then singing no top of it with different lyrics
I guess I can kind of hear it with the video.
Poor journalism. It’s a $100 million dollar law claim. Who is running this trash site?
They are REACHING for the stars here. This has got to stop. That’s a pretty basic chord progression, and the actual vocal melodies aren’t similar at all. Pop music has been around for more than 60 years. There are no new melodies at this point. You know out and out plagiarism when you hear it. Kandi and Tiny had a much stronger case with Shape of You.
This guy is a renown ‘borrower’ of other artists style, music, cadence etc etc. Like come on, be original.?♀️
I first came to know about him in 2010 when he performed Wayfaring Stranger, the same EXACT way that Jamie Woon (super dope artist) performed that song; using a guitar and a loop machine SMH. I mean you could barely tell the difference between the two. From then on, I never bought into the hype and just knew that this guy was/ and is a con. ??
I agree. He is a con artist with dirty looking skin.
Being inspired by / similar to is different to recreating, interpolating or sampling tbh
Ed is a con artist that is conning you into thinking he is “insprired” by other people’s music when in reality he is stealing their musical creativity and changing it slightly with different lyrics. I don’t thonk he is “inspired”, “recreating”, or “interpolating” but rather just stealing.
I didn’t know “thinking out loud” I had to listen to it for the first time 5 minute ago and all I have to say is…someone’s about to pay up because I immediately heard “Let’s get it on”…that bass…that drum line…that guitar is “let’s get it on”. The people suing Ed represent Ed Townsend who actually wrote the damn song. Ironically Marvin himself was forced to change the song’s theme. Marvin had made it “political” but Ed was like “no sir, this is not a song about politics its about love and S**”. They then collaborated and wrote “let’s get it on” as we know it. Someone said “there are no more melodies, everyone copies” LMAO b*******! A piano has eighty-eight keys so the amount of melodies/chords combinations that can be created is literally infinite.
Although I do believe it IS possible to plagiarise without intention but still it’s simple, if you sample GIVE THE CREDIT or change the chord! In university if you don’t give due credit you get ZERO, no questions asked because artistic/intellectual property is important! 70s musicians have been duped for many years by White artists claiming “inspiration”. Who can blame them, that decade is the GOLDEN AGE of Soul and RnB. Chaka Khan gave Kanye West her blessing to sample “through the fire” (one the GREATEST vocal performances by ANY singer) but Chaka (even she didn’t write the song) was so upset by the fact that Kanye turned the pitch up on Chaka’s vocals. Chaka said “well had I known he was going to make me sound like the damn chimpmunks I would’ve said you know, write your own damn song” PARAPHRASED. What’s even more odd is that this Ed can play instruments, usually those kind of artists have no problem being original eg Stevie Wonder, Prince etc. Be original; if not, pay UP!
