Madonna Claims Tory Lanez Ripped Off Her Song, Says She’s ‘Tired of Being Taken Advantage Of’

Madonna recently claimed that Canadian artist Tory Lanez’s new track “Pluto’s Last Comet” borrowed too heavily from the pop icon’s 1985 single ‘Into The Groove’.

In a recent statement shared with Rolling Stone, Madonna wrote, “I am tired of being taken advantage of and I mean business.” 

Madonna first called out Lanez on Instagram after the artist’s 80s-inspired album ‘Alone At Prom’ dropped earlier this month. In the comments section of one of Lanez’s posts, Madonna wrote “Read your messages [for] illegal use of my song get into the groove”. 

While the two songs do share a resemblance with a similar lead synth riff, it is still unclear as to whether Madonna and her team will be pursuing a copyright infringement suit against Lanez. 

Lanez is also currently tied up in a legal battle over his July 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. The singer was ordered to stand trial before a jury on felony charges earlier this month. Lanez -whose real name is Daystar Peterson - is set to appear in court on January 13, 2022.
