Jermaine Dupri claims Ciara " I Bet" is similar to Usher "You Got It Bad".. Jermaine also shares his opinion about the Blurred Line trial.
Billboard reports, The 42-year-old Dupri, who has co-written and co-produced No. 1 hits such as Carey's "We Belong Together" and "Always Be My Baby," Usher's "Burn" and Monica's "The First Night," said he is "50/50" about the "Blurred Lines" case because he understands both sides. He says he's currently in a similar situation: Dupri claims R&B singer Ciara's latest song, "I Bet," is too close to Usher's "U Got It Bad" -- the massive 2001 hit that Dupri also co-produced -- for comfort.
"Ciara's new single is a complete rip-off of Usher's 'U Got It Bad,'" Dupri said. "I'm clear on what I made and I'm clear on how music influences people and I'm clear on chord changes and how people move things. ... It might not be as evident as the 'Blurred Lines' situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me."
