Stolen from You: "No Scrubs" writers get writing credits for "Shape of You"

[BLACKOUTbritney 22,264]

A scrub is a guy who hangs on the passenger side of someone else's song.

Kandi Burruss has been given a writing credit on Ed Sheeran's Shape of You.

The US copyright website ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) amended its listing for the chart topping song, after countless listeners pointed out the similarities between it and TLC's 1999 hit No Scrubs.

I hate Ed Sheeran more than the Chainsmokers and thats saying a lot. I hope they sue his ass .

Damn, get money, girls.

Shape Of You is basic AF, especially compared to No Scrubs.

[Computer 10,973]

I hear it.

Isn't it odd that after a few days of people talking about this they just go ahead and give them a writing credit 

Wouldnt surprise me if they literally based the whole song off No Scrubs and were on standby to give them writing credits if they noticed

Now Queen Sia needs to come for him or actually, Greg Kurstin, he produced Cheap Thrills.

Way to steal such an iconic, legendary song and turn it into something basic as f*ck...  

[RAMROD 107,453]

lmao and No Scrub still sounds much better too

[FATCAT 59,854]

I definitely hear it, but I never would have thought it'd be enough to warrant a writing credit.

I mean, good for her, in the end.
