Donald Glover, the rapper also known as Childish Gambino, is being sued for alleged copyright infringement, with a rival musician saying the Grammy-winning hit 'This Is America' was lifted from him.
Emelike Nwosuocha, who raps as Kidd Wes, says in court documents the 2018 rap smash from Glover is 'glaringly similar' to a song he released two years prior on the Soundcloud platform.
The federal complaint filed in New York cites 'nearly-identical unique rhythmic, lyrical, and thematic compositional and performance content contained in the chorus -- or 'hook' -- sections that are the centerpieces of both songs.'
'This Is America' in 2019 become the first rap song to win the prestigious Grammys honoring best song and best record.
