Producer Dillon Francis has hit out at Katy Perry, calling her a 'rip off' and claims she stole ideas for her new video 'Roar' from one of his tracks. Check out both videos below.
Dillon was referring to the video for his aptly-named 2013 track 'Messages'. Both clips feature the lyrics to the tracks being unveiled in the form of a text message - however Perry went to the efforts to be seen driving, sitting on the toilet and playing with her cat, Kitty Purry', in the video for 'Roar'.
However, that didn't stop Francis from taking to Twitter to blast Perry for copying his concept (and also take a shot at Flo Rida while he was at it):
Damn first @official_flo steals @diplo's "butters theme" music idea now @katyperry steals my "messages" music video idea..What the fuck?
