The songwriters who wrote 3LW?s 2001 hit ?Playas Gon? Play? are claiming that Taylor Swift ripped them off. TMZ reports that Sean Hall and Nathan Butler -- who have also worked with the Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5 -- and more are suing Taylor for 20 percent of her 2014 hit ?Shake It Off.?

Admittedly, ?Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play/ And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate? is pretty close to ?The playas gon? play/ Them haters gonna hate,? although a representative for Taylor disagrees. ?This is a ridiculous claim and nothing more than a money grab,? says her rep. ?The law is simple and clear. They do not have a case.?







Divination

Hopefully she does the right thing and gives them a cut.
But then again she probably feels above this mess.

Whenever I heard that part in Taylor's song, I honestly did think of 3LW every time. I'm not vested in either of these acts so yeah it's a thing.

Playas gon play and haters gon hate is a phrase that didnt start with 3LW though (correct me if I'm wrong). So they really dont have a case. But hopefully they'll win every cent they are suing for.

TRY.It.AGAIN
