Black Eyed Peas Settle Plagiarism Case
Nov 23, 2009 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
Some musicians just have a habit of ripping off other artists and I have to ask when will they ever learn? Will.I.Am surely needs to learn his lesson regarding the matter. As previously mentioned, the Black Eyed Peas front man has been accused several times of ripping off music from other artists. One of the recent accusations deals with a song by musician Adam Freeland called ‘Mancry’ which had a piece of it ending up in the BEP song ‘Party All the Time’. According to reports, Will.I.Am was at an event last year where Adam performed the song in question. Good news though as they have settled all the trouble. Adam posted a message on his Facebook saying “Just settled w/ Black eyes Peas who ripped off Mancry. If you see me in the next wk say ‘Party all the time’ I’ll buy you a beer. Woo hoop!” I guess he got paid.

will.i.am’s song stealing catches up
Nov 19, 2009 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
After been accused by several artists that he has stolen their music, will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas has apparently decided to finally pay up for his misconducts. And the first to reap the benefits of having his music stolen by will.i.am is Adam Freeland who wrote the following on his Facebook page: Just settled w/ Black eyes Peas who ripped off Mancry. If you see me in the next wk say ‘Party all the time’ I’ll buy you a beer. Woo hoop!” Well, that’s one way to sell your stuff, especially for a lot more than its worth. It seems that the Black Eyed Peas might want to reconsider having will.i.am as a member since it is doubtful that money came out of his pocket alone.
