Cha-Ching! Ed Sheeran Adds ?No Scrubs? Writers Kandi & Tiny To ?Shape Of You? Writing Credits Xscape Duo Win Big After Hitmaker Admits ?No Scrubs? Sample
QuoteEd Sheeran?s ?Shape Of You? has been omnipresent on the charts and radio alike. Hence, it?s unsurprising if it?s become familiar to the masses.
Well, it turns out one of the main reasons for that is that it borrows from TLC?s smash hit ?No Scrubs.?
And now its writers are being compensated accordingly.
Full story below?
The likings of the two records was so striking that the writers behind the 90s? hit (Kandi Burruss, Tamika Cottle, and producer Kevin Briggs) have now been listed as writers behind Sheeran?s ?Shape.?
Prior to the amendment, only Ed and co-writers Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid were listed.
There?s no word on how the issue was raised, but it?s most certainly been resolved.
Whether the red-headed crooner intentionally utilized the original 90s? melody without giving credit, it?s not the first time the 26-year-old has found himself in a similar predicament.
Like Robin Thicke and company, the Brit hitmaker is being sued by Marvin Gaye?s estate over another one of his hits, ?Thinking Out Loud.? Marvin?s camp believe the 2015 single draws similarities with Gaye?s ?Let?s Get It On.?
Perhaps in a bid to avoid any more drama, Sheeran and co have clearly complied and sliced that percentage pie.
Kandi and Tiny are about to get tf PAID! :justabit:

Ed added them because he didn't want to be sued again.

yes
I haven't compared and contrasted but im assuming it's similar enough in some way. Niggas just aint handing out writing credits to #1 songs

QuoteIn recent weeks, the song's pre-chorus ("Boy, let's not talk too much/ Grab on my waist and put that body on me") started to receive comparisons to the '90s R&B classic for its similar lyrical rhythm ("No, I don't want no scrubs/ A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me"). Now, Sheeran validates the comparisons by adding "No Scrubs" co-writers Kandi Burruss and Tameka "Tiny" Colette, of the girl group Xscape, along with Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs to the song's credits.
Ok fck this pale phagg
Why in the fck is he always stealing shit?!!!!!
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
When is Ed ALWAYS stealing?
Yeah cuz that Marvin Gaye mess was fucking prevalent
Just credit ppl fool
That was a serious ? Btw
How many times has this happened to him and what other songs?
Well that's good for kandi maybe some more current artists will come to her for a hit lolz
His music is terrible
HM playlist shit
I do agree that i kinda hear lets get it on in thinking out loud but i dont think stuff like this is apparent sumtimes. Ed is very talented so this doesnt take away from that to me. And 1 other time isn't ALWAYS so i hope there's more than that
That Qaadir boy is reading this somewhere and is PISSED

but you have to admit this is strange for an actual songwriter/producer/performer combo
I think he's stolen a lot and not gotten caught yet
Like with Bruno, he's the perfect example of being inspired by a sound or genre, but not str8 up biting.
Ed is no better than Beyonc? tbh!
