You stole my song! Stars accused of music theft
As Will.i.am is accused of ripping off a dance duo, who else has possibly borrowed a little too much...
- Will.i.am: The founding Black Eyed Peas member has recently got into water over allegedly stealing his new track 'Let's Go' from house producers Mat Zo and Arty. The song sounds almost identical in parts to the pair's song 'Rebound', and there's the fact that Will had apparently approached the two about using it but they declined. Still, Mat Zo was polite about it saying, "To conclude, perhaps it is better to invest your energy into supporting 'Rebound' instead of spewing s**t at Will I Am and Chris Brown."

Some of these won't be a surprise and some of them will, but we've got together 10 accusations of stars who are musical magpies. From Usher to Taylor Swift to even Lady Gaga, which stars have been accused of being musical thieves?
