Michael Jackson, Will Smith and Tupac Shakur are all being sued for stealing the same song. Blues musician Syl Johnson, real name Sylvester Thompson, has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the three artistes claiming they all used his 1967 tune Different Strokes without paying him for the rights to do so.
Johnson claims Jackson’s Blood on the Dance Floor, Smith’s Who Stole The DJ and Shakur’s Peep Game all illegally sampled his track. The 71-year-old soul singer has also filed papers against the rap group N.W.A. for their song Real N**gaz Don’t Die, and KRS-One for his tune Criminal Minded.
