Over the weekend, social media started speculating that Childish Gambino‘s “This Is America” had plagiarized a 2016 song called “American Pharaoh” by a rapper called Jase Harley.
Now, Fam Rothstein of Donald Glover’s management team Wolf + Rothstein has denied the accusations on Twitter. “This song is 3 yrs old, and we have pro tools files to prove it,” he tweeted today.
Check out the tweet, along with Jase Harley’s song, below.
the Internet is a place of no consequences. I hate that Toronto Akademiks/every white blogger can say something as gospel and y'all take it. this song is 3 yrs old, and we have pro tools files to prove it. but fuck you and your moms, and your future fetuses. stay blessed. https://t.co/z7AyyWgrOz
