Rap artist T-Pain was accused of plagiarising his recent release 'That's Yo Money' from Bollywood film Aashiqui 2's hit song 'Tum Hi Ho'. According to Mumbai Mirror, soon after the song was released, social media users pointed out that it bore an uncanny resemblance to the hit number from the Shraddha Kapoor-Aditya Roy Kapur starrer. According to the report, Bhushan Kumar, who heads T-Series, got the music pulled from YouTube for copyright infringment.
Composer Mithoon tweeted: "Sir, the melody that you have used in your new song is my original work for a previously released Hindi film..The Label is looking into this."

The rapper responded: "Woke up to getting dragged by brown twitter. Sooooo yea. I definitely didn’t produce this song. Had no idea that was a sample and have never heard the music before I got the beat from the producer. Easy thing to work out. The labels will be in contact. Thanx."
