American rapper Leavemealone accused the Russian artist Big Baby Tape of copying his track “Face” on his Instagram.
“This guy thinks because he has 500k followers and a lot of fans, he can steal from little known artists like me,” Leavemealone wrote.
According to the artist, the chorus of the track “Weight” completely copies his composition “Face” (translated as “face”, but the pronunciation in English is almost identical to the word “weight”). In addition, in the track, the American rapper raps about how he is “moving weight” (“moving weight”, we are talking about drugs), the same thing BBT says in his track.
On the Genius website with lyrics on the page of the track “Weight” Big Baby Tape, the composition Leavemealone is listed as similar, but he was unhappy with this status and demanded royalties, since he recorded it almost a year ago and knew nothing about the use of his music.
