YouTube artist C.KHiD accused Chris Brown of allegedly plagiarizing his unique music style. The artist believes three of his hit songs were copied.

 

Chris Brown might have been entangled in many controversies, but one major accusation could put his professional integrity at risk. Famed South Carolina rapper C.KHiD alleged that the Sensational rapper not only copied his art, but also stole his style.

Fans of the artist have long suspected foul play in public discourses, claiming they noticed similarities between their works, but a recent interview confirmed the issue. The Yeah Girl singer spoke about the long-standing rumors, essentially accusing Brown of allegedly copying his song’s titles, their choruses, and concepts.

Plagiarism is a huge issue for any piece of art and it often becomes a legal and personal nightmare for artists. However, when faced with a giant competitor who you know holds more power in the industry than you can dream of, many smaller artists often back down.

But C.KHiD was not one to cower in the shadows. The South Carolina-born rapper grew a substantial fanbase on YouTube through his hard work. Unfortunately, the Work Out rapper had to face the music when he claimed a big-time artist had copied his work.

In an appearance on The Kuldesac Krew podcast, the up-and-coming rapper claimed he noticed a weird pattern regarding Chris Brown. He alleged that no matter where he went, the Praise artist would mysteriously appear after him.

I dropped a vlog getting my hair braided in LA; suddenly Chris Brown showed up to the braider, got his hair braided…I had a clothing line in my ‘One Fast Life’ video, that was relatively new [at the time]…suddenly Chris Brown shows up to get their clothing.

This did not stop at a mere barber’s shop and according to his accusation, the Under the Influence rapper allegedly followed his footsteps to a relatively new clothing line. More such instances confirmed C.KHiD’s doubts, which soon turned professional.

Further on in the podcast, the rapper alleged that he began to notice similarities between his older songs and Brown’s newer releases. For instance, the If You Knew Better rapper released a song titled Yeah, Yeah on YouTube which had around 3 million views (via Urban Matter).

Later on, the No One Else artist released his song Yeah 3x which the former claimed had a similar chorus. C.KHiD’s next accusation was related to Brown’s hit song Monalisa, which he believed was copied from his older song MonaLisa Lisa.

I just don’t see how all those things could happen coincidentally right after I did it.  And then I had the AYO song and that was the biggest nod [sign].

The song that confirmed the younger artist’s speculations was AYO, a song with the same name as his single released nearly 1.5 years before Brown’s and Tyga‘s version. The artist further claimed the connecting link between the duo was Kevin McCall, a football player turned music writer for the Jireh rapper.

The Dreams singer accused McCall of reaching out to his song’s producer Ross McPherson, aka Roscoe Beats, to learn what was popular among the audience. This is how he learned of C.KHiD’s song and his unique chorus style, which was allegedly replicated by Brown.
