Jermaine Dupri is claiming that Ciara’s her new single “I Bet” sounds similar to Usher’s “U Got It Bad.” He also says the song has the same tone as Tamia’s “Still,” a song he produced on her 2004 album, “More.”
“Ciara’s new single is a complete rip-off of Usher’s ‘U Got It Bad,'” he 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.”
He says he, Usher and Bryan Michael Cox heard the similarities and plan to contact Ciara to make sure they were properly credited on the song.
“I Bet” is currently climbing up the Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop chart at #27. The singer released a simplistic video to the track last week.

Wow I didn’t notice it till just now. The melody is the same.
Mmmmmmm
I have been DJing for almost 30 years and have a great ear for sound. All I needed was to hear the first 30 seconds of each song. Now Ciara’s song have the same rhythm as to Usher but it’s more of a 1/16 note grid to Usher’s 1/8 note grid.
Jd is a relic trying to keep his name a float all these fake ass song s sound the same.Record better music u wont have this problem
OH YEAH! She just changed the key and tempo but it’s the same beat lmbo heck naw lol
I’m not in the music business and I can hear it. Oh wow it’s the same damn song. Smh
I damn sure didn’t hear it.
I believe it sounds like usher’s song same feel and everything
I hear the similarities! Oh we but is it enough to get paid for?
Seems like this is the new ‘trend.’ When new music is released, it’s matched up with other songs previously recorded and then a lawsuit follows of which the artist or the original recordings have been winning. It’s unfortunate.
No one in music is safe!
That’s me Cuzo
Smh…this is way too easy, poor Ciara.
Pay up! Its a plus in the music industry. But a remix would be dope!
Dang it! I can hear it sounds about the same I was happy she was revamping herself. Hopefully she got all her ducks in a row!
Oh boy…..here we go….
