Jermaine Dupri has claimed that Ciara‘s latest single ‘I Bet’ is “a complete rip-off” of Usher‘s ‘U Got It Bad’.

The producer was speaking to the Associated Press about this week’s ruling at the US District Court in Los Angeles, where Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to Marvin Gaye’s family after a jury determined their 2013 hit ‘Blurred Lines’ copied elements of the R&B icon’s 1977 single ‘Got To Give It Up’.

Dupri co-produced ‘U Got It Bad’ in 2001 with Bryan-Michael Cox, while ‘I Bet’ was released last January. “Ciara’s new single is a complete rip-off of Usher’s ‘U Got It Bad’,” he said. “I’m clear on what I made and I’m clear on how music influences people and I’m clear on chord changes and how people move things…It might not be as evident as the ‘Blurred Lines’ situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me.”

Dupri also compared ‘I Bet’ – which was produced by Harmony ‘H-Money’ Samuels and Chris ‘TEK’ O’Ryan – to R&B singer Tamia’s 2004 track ‘Still’, another number he and Cox produced. Dupri says he, Cox and Usher will be asking to be credited.
