After dropping a surprise new single, rapper T-Pain is now being accused of plagiarizing a famous Bollywood song – and it’s safe to say fans aren’t impressed.
On Friday, T-Pain, whose real name is Faheem Rashad Najm, dropped his new single “That’s Yo Money”, but his fans weren’t impressed when they noticed the song seemed to resemble “Tum Hi Ho” from the Bollywood film “Aashiqui 2”.
Fans quickly took social media to share their frustration, even looping in the composer of the original track, Mithoon.
“Sir, the melody that you have used in your new song is my original work for a previously released Hindi film..The Label is looking into this,” Mithoon expressed in response to the 33-year-old rapper’s promotional tweet.

“Ashiqui 2” director Mohit Suri also chimed in online, pointing out the similarities between both of the songs.
Shortly after the news broke, T-Pain took to Twitter to say that he “definitely didn’t produce the song”.
