You are right - it’s not COINCIDENCE - IT‘S BUSINESS. Music artists are just like cars to record companies - they are PRODUCTS - and when Apple - Nike and Tesla bring out a great PRODUCT everyone wants to Mimick it and some succeed in making something close to the original - or entertainingly close.

JB and J.T borrowed just like others before them, but what makes people mad is when it isn’t authentic and the artist decides to genre hop and only dable in the genre because it was in fashion.

Nobody ever questioned why Michael or Janet dabled in rock, country or funk/blues influences - because it was AUTHENTIC.
