Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer, Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, better known by his stage name, The Weeknd, has been sued for at least $5million for alleged plagiarism of his hit song ‘Starboy’.
The 28 year old singer as well as the producer of the song, Daft Punk are being sued by a Somali-American poet named Yasminah, who claims that her song ‘Hooyo’ is the blueprint for ‘Starboy’ released by The Weeknd in 2016.
According to reports, the self-described ‘activist’, Yasminah released her own track in 2009, seven years before The Weeknd‘s chart-topper and she claims that both tracks feature the ‘same hook, same key, similar tempo and both songs feature prominent claps on beats 2 and 4’.
‘Starboy’ was an instant hit after it was released and has sold more than 6million copies in the US alone.
