Mariah Carey and The-Dream sued over "My Love" duet

For years, some of the biggest hitmakers in the music industry have gotten their hits from independent creators. However, it was not until the 2000s when these independent people began to fight back. With the emergence of the internet, the playing field have been leveled and these people are looking to be compensated. The top players in the music industry have all been caught.

Now, it is Mariah Carey and The-Dream's turn. There is a producer from the Bay Area who claims he, not The-Dream, composed the song, "My Love." This man is not taking this lightly, as he is suing many other major stars for copyright infringement. He has The-Dream for many other songs, but the most-notable one is his Mariah Carey duet. The song was featured on his Love vs. Money album.

When the producer first heard the song, it reminded him of one he created. Then, he spent over three hours playing the songs back. He would soon realize The-Dream had somehow heard his song and stole it from him. He admitted to actually meeting The-Dream and they were close to working on a deal to use his song. For some reason, they never reached a deal and Dream had to create his own song. Apparently, he decided to rework the song he had already created. The terms of the suit have not been disclosed at this point.
