The song"is a forgery -- plagiarized from plaintiff Josh Stone who wrote, recorded and published the nearly identical original work 'You Need It, I Got It' ... approximately two years earlier," alleges a lawsuit filed Friday in US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

According to the lawsuit, a"comparative analysis of the beat, lyrics, hook, rhythmic structure, metrical placement and narrative context -- by musicology experts or everyday listeners alike -- demonstrates clearly and convincingly that 7 RINGS copied I GOT IT." Stone says that one of the defendants, Thomas Lee Brown, is a music producer who worked with Grande on at least five studio albums and was at the meeting.

Instead, the suit says, Brown simply took"I Got It" to Grande and the other defendants and repackaged it into the hit.
