Ariana Grande is being sued for copyright infringement over her smash hit “7 Rings”. The hip-hop artist Josh Stone who performs under the name DOT accuses the 26-year-old singer and her songwriting team of plagiarism, claiming they lifted the hook from his 2017 song “You Need It, I Got It” and used it for the chorus of Grande’s 2019 single.
Stone alleges in the complaint that “highly regarded musicology experts” have found the two songs to share similar elements, including a likeness in its beat and lyrics.
