Is Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" plagiarized?
Turkish singer Evrencan Gündüz posted a video on Instagram yesterday comparing his 2017 song "Sen Aşkımızdan" to Fifty Fifty's hit "Cupid". In the caption he wrote “Fifty Fifty released a great song. Let’s listen together :) But it looks familiar from somewhere…“
An expert consulted by Korean outlet Wikitree said, “If you look closely, it’s similar, but this level doesn’t seem to be enough to be considered (as plagiarism).”
An official from Fifty Fifty’s agency said in a phone call with Wikitree, “We are in contact with the author of Cupid to confirm.” The composers of "Cupid" are all from abroad, so due to time difference and other issues, the agency’s official position will be announced at a later date.
Notably parts are 0:15-0:40, 1:14-1:24, 1:29-1:38, 2:28-2:52.
