Katy Perry blatantly stole a song from a Christian hip-hop singer and then tarnished it with witchcraft, paganism and black magic … at least that’s the claim in a new lawsuit.
According to the suit — obtained by TMZ — Perry’s hit song “Dark Horse” is a rip-off of an award-winning Christian gospel song called “Joyful Noise” … that was released 5 years before Perry’s track.
The suit was filed by an artist known as Flame — along with other singers. They say Perry not only hijacked their religious music … she also destroyed their reputation in the Christian music world … because they’re now associated with the anti-Christian witchcraft and imagery that appears in the “Dark Horse” music video.
Rip-Off …
They’re suing for damages … and want Perry to stop using any form of their music … stat.
So we gotta ask …
