Lady Gaga (real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) is using singer Usher Raymond as an example, to help her latest legal battle. The 28-year-old pop star seems to believe he may be her saving grace over accusations she stole another artist music for her hit “Judas“.
Gaga was sued by a singer named Rebecca Francescatti who accused her of stealing her 1999 song “Juda” . She claimed that there were numerous similarities including the repetition of the word “Judas” in both songs. Gaga denied she copied the song for her hit.
Last week, Gaga filed docs in which she drags Usher into her battle with Francescatti. Gaga explains to the court that recently Usher won a federal lawsuit in which he was accused of stealing another artists music for his hit “Caught Up“.
Out of interest, I checked that Juda song out, the similarity is light years off.
And I'm pretty sure Lady Gaga didn't phone in and said: hi lawyer? yeh I am up to date with other artists law suits and I noticed Usher won his case so please use it for mine too, ttyl xoxo.
Somehow I doubt any artist follows a suit case of someone else
It's probably her lawyers that dragged that file in if anything
This happens all the time in court. (Well if The Good Wife is accurate) Lawyers bring up past cases to try to get a ruling in their favour. My lawyer friend does it too.
All the "" in here, gtfo She isn't actually dragging Usher into ****, she/her lawyers are just using a previous case as an example, a common practice. Either read more than the title, or go somewhere else with your seething hate.
