Nyla from the Jamaican R&B/ Pop group Brick & Lace has raised questions over the similarities between the recently released song by Will Smith and Sean Paul-“Light Em Up” and her 2015 smash with Major Lazer, “Light it Up.”
The song in question is part of the soundtrack for the recently released Bad Boys: Ride or Die film.
In a video posted to her social media on Saturday night, the singer shared questions about a seemingly similar cadence to that of the song written by her.
The “Love is Wicked” hitmaker also vented her frustration about the practice in the [music and entertainment] industry of “ripping” other people’s work, noting that songwriters have been typically passive regarding these matters.
