As their content seeps into the social media timelines of fans, friends and rivals, independent artists often find themselves at risk of being bitten by their more celebrated peers.
Today, the artist Yella is one step closer to proving that that happened to her after launching legal action against Juicy J, Miley Cyrus and others for allegedly stealing her look, style and sound to build the track ’23 (Js on my Feet)’.
Bad news for Miley below…
Yella was stunned when she came across ’23’ as it sounded, according to her, identical to a track she’d released a year earlier.
Frustrated by the fact her work had been used to fill the pockets of Miley and co, the performer filed a lawsuit against each and everyone of ’23’s writers with hopes doing so would force them to pay for the supposed theft.
Why Miley may be a little peeved today?
The performer Juicy J seemed to confirm that Yella’s track was stolen by reaching a settlement with her outside of court to ensure he is no longer caught up in the lawsuit.
Worrying, as his move adds weight to the creative charges his collaborators are facing.
As a result, she informed the court all claims against the rapper are now dismissed but her case against Miley and several other defendants will move forward.
Yella says Cyrus used the release of her song to “reinvent her musical career from child star to the edgier, urban, and adult performer she is today.”
Miley stole a lot from Black culture to sell her music then denounced it! That is White privilege and it lost my respect for her!
I said the same thing but she was only 20… I was sure ignorant at 20 also, I think we all are/were. If she can learn from this and be better then I can forgive her I’m not going to hold her to being a young dumb 20 year old
Honey, it’s one thing when you’re not a celeb and you’re 20 and think you’re black and you’re not selling something and you eventually grow as a person. It’s different when you have an album, singles, and tour to sell then turn around and criticize the very community you just misappropriated as being myscoginistic.
But 20 is 20, her platform may be different and bigger but her ignorance and immaturity is the exact same as every other standard 20 year old. U can’t give her burden of her “responsibility” when 20 year old and the word responsibility don’t go in the same sentence. She definitely has time to learn grow, mature and educate herself. That is the beauty of youth and life. You learn and become better. I hope she has.
I agree TruthTea. I am learning everyday to stop being such an uncle tom. Its hard because I have been conditioned in my country to think I am a lessor to whites so I struggle with it. Each day I am getting better though. Miley is wrong but so is the other artists on the track. Mike Will Made it is most wrong.
TROLLmine is the only one who starts her/his (it’s hermaphrodite) replies with “I agree” and when it curses uses a | to fill in the curse word. It’s so funny and flattering it wants to be me but again I’m single s**èd and TROLLmine is hermpahrodite so it can never be me
Take your meds TROLLmine. You are the one who is trying to be me again and again and again and again and again. It’s crazy that you think you are me. I am the ONLY Jasmine on this site I have been on here since the very beginning. Here is an article from 2010:

How u gonna come on this site and use my name and think you are going to get away with it. You are gonna have to find ANOTHER user name because the name ‘Jasmine’ is reserved for me and I won’t stop using my own damn username for some stupid troll like you to pretend you are me!
Since TROLLmine Rasputia (the hermaphrodite) wants to emulate me and mimic my every move, let me share some of its personal info with us so we all may be more empathetic to it! Here’s auntie Oprah explaining TROLLmines life as a hermaphrodite: man(with dïck) and woman (with Tuna püssy).

This is why it’s so weird, it’s literally a two sexed human and when it’s not being it’s original troll Account RASPUTIA it’s trying to be me. But it can’t cause it’s herm- I’m not ??♀️??♀️??♀️
But let’s be honest it’’s not white privileged…I’m sick of hearing this about Beyoncé, Gaga, Nicki, XTina, Rihanna and now Miley.
When someone is accused of stealing someone’s sound and look if the mainstream music buyers and fans was into some of that so called “originals” sound and looks they’d be great and would sale millions.
It’s easy do criticize someone for making something similar to what you make but better, we all know all criticize the singers I mentioned above but all of them are still relevant and still sells more than the “original” who accused them.
If you’re so easily offended by this, just listen to this girl and all who accused Miley and the others of stealing their image and ideas, sounds…
How did Miley steal a song when she was just a feature on?
My thoughts exactly…??♂️
So Mikey records songs without even knowing where they came from? How artistic ?
How’s Selena liver going honey? Kiss*
Because the lawsuit said she was in on it and used it to transform into the chicken cutlet girl. Didn’t you read the article?
Who are you talking to?
I listened to both songs they sound nothing alike and they don’t even have the same lyrics nor location. Plus this yella chick isn’t black she look latina. Also she don’t have a music video for her song so how Miley stole her style. Personally as a black woman I feel like home girl career is wack and she just needed some clout and cash
Ok but this right here is IT! https://youtu.be/f9p5cmh-pJY
She was a feature so I’m confuse ?
So you accept that she records songs without even knowing who wrote them. Isn’t she meant to be a credible singer songwriter?
Slow Selena doesn’t understand everybody is being sued except the guy that “wrote” his raps. The title is misleading. I see it as this young lady is upset that she didn’t blow up and she is looking for a payday.
I need Miley to go back to urban. Those were hits she was putting. I really liked bangers. If they really stole this though then they should be sued. However this girl can give it up if this is how she gonna sound cause no one will be buying into her.
I like to twirk like Miley. Now im so good at it I twerk better than her.
To my surprise I finally liked Mylie with her last album. Malibu was my song last summer. And later on I´ve found she actually has pretty great vocal performances. And I enjoy pretty much the whole last album as a whole, even if it has not got hits. It adds to it that I´ve leanrt she´s a pretty great person. I like her now. I´m not crazy about her talent. But I pfucks with her. I cannot blame her for trying to run a littel bit from her previous era because that thing with the much older man (who should have known better) was so ridiculous. Very try hard and didn´t enhance her talnet at all. Only good thing was the hit Wrecking Ball.
Bangerz was the sh|t.
TROLLmine Rasputia is the only one who uses a | to use profanity words like sh|t. It (hermaphrodite) doesn’t even try and write different when it trolls. Lmfao. I already spoke to David earlier though it’s being handled

dead I can’t with black people anymore…It’s a ok when a black person wears a blond wig..but when a white person makes urban music suddenly they’re trying to be black?
so what about the black people who makes pop music..isnt pop music white?
you people support garbage music and black people who actually making great music are paid dust…are called flops…
hence why white people like adele who makes soul music are always going to win
You sound dumb, pop music means “popular”. If it’s popular it’s pop music. U have no idea why u talk about when you type
Sorry Reatedxx I am such a know-it-all t***** I forgot my table manners. I should not be calling you dumb. I am the dumb ass.
S*** does not any sound like Miley’s
Don’t think it sounds good wanted to change it 5 sec in and don’t quite sound the same pretty sure I heard different words too
