Chris Brown Faces 10th Copyright Infringement Claim Amidst Ongoing Controversy
South Carolina rapper C.KHiD alleges that Chris Brown and Tyga’s hit song, “AYO,” plagiarizes his own track of the same name, focusing on similarities in the chorus and concept. C.KHiD claims that songwriter Kevin McCall, who worked with Chris Brown and previously collaborated with the producer of C.KHiD’s “AYO,” appropriated elements from his music. The commercially successful “AYO,” featuring Grammy and ASCAP award nominations, could significantly impact C.KHiD’s career if his claims are substantiated, prompting a debate about intellectual property rights within the music industry. This controversy adds to Chris Brown’s existing legal issues regarding copyright infringement, while Tyga faces reputational risk through association.
