Our bingo card is typically full but Mariah Carey being accused of song theft was not one of those entries. According to lawsuit documents seen by Bazaar Daily, a man named Andy Stone (who is known on stage as Vince Vance) claims that the music legend swiped his song from him which he claims he allegedly recorded 5 years before she did. He is understood to be seeking at least $20m in damages from Carey and her team.
We were unable to reach Mariah Carey for comment on this story and Sony Music ‘s comment request is pending (if we get it back we’ll publish what they say.). It’s worth noting that both of the songs have very different melodies and lyrics.
