Justin Bieber and Usher are being sued by two Virginia-based songwriters for nearly $10 million for copyright infringement.
Devin Copeland and Mario Overton claim the song "Somebody To Love" "contains numerous lyrical and stylistic similarities to a song of the same name that they wrote in 2008."
The pair filed a lawsuit in federal court last Thursday with the claim that numerous songwriters and producers conspired to copy their song.
According to the lawsuit, Copeland and Overton's song found its way to representatives of Ush, who then passed it onto his mother, who at the time was serving as his manager. It also states that videos of Usher performing a demo of "Somebody To Love" on YouTube date back to as early as 2010. The song was later given to Bieber to record for his album My World 2.0.
