Childish Gambino is being sued for copyright infringement over his Grammy Award-winning rap song "This Is America".
Entertainer Childish Gambino is being sued for copyright infringement over his Grammy Award-winning rap song This Is America.
Rapper Kidd Wes claims the song copied his track Made In America, which was released two years earlier.
Court documents say the lyrical theme, content and structure of the two songs' choruses are glaringly similar.
Childish Gambino, aka Donald Glover, has yet to respond to the claims.
In 2019, This Is America made history by becoming the first rap track to win song of the year at the Grammy Awards.
One of the most-discussed and powerful songs of that year, it delivered a scathing message about racial inequality, police brutality and gun violence, which was amplified by its provocative music video.
