It looks like Camila Cabello just can’t catch a break.
With the recent release of her sophomore studio album ‘Romance,’ Camila Cabello’s name has been all up and through headlines recently, but seemingly for everything but the actual album. Just last week, the former Fifth Harmony singer was under fire after an old Tumblr account resurfaced featuring some rather questionable posts that some considered racist, now, the “Havana” singer is in hot water again, after she’s been accused of ripping off a track by latin artists Pochi Marambio and Tierra Sur titled “Llaman a la Puerta,” for her collaboration with rapper Da Baby, “My Oh My.”
According to Genius, the song is not sampled and was written as a collaboration between Camila, Jonathan Lyndale Kirk (Da Baby’s real name), Louis Bell, Adam Feeney, Savan Kotecha, and Anthony Clemons, Jr. The Pochi Marambio version was released in 2018 under Alejandro Marambio Altamirano‘s copyright and it’s been said that the original artist is furious after reaching out to Camila’s team and still not receiving proper credit.
While the two songs do sound similar, it’s up to a court of law to decide if Camila actually stole the tune from the Latin song. One thing is for sure though, the Cuban-American pop singer has been deeply influenced by Latin music and reception to her first solo single, “Havana,” has largely shaped the sound of all future music she’s recorded.
This isn’t the first time Camila has been accused of plagiarizing another artist. Two years ago, fans called out the former Fifth Harmony star for ripping off Lorde with her song “Into It.” Lorde fans drew comparison with their fave’s track “Sober” whereas Camila’s song “She Loves Control” was compared to Stargate and Sia‘s collab “Waterfall.” Additionally, MARINA fans thought Cam’s new song “Liar” sounded a little too much like “Karma.” Others thought it sounds like “Kali Uchis” track “Nuestro Planeta.”
Some anti-Camila fans are now calling for someone to make an entire thread of “all the songs she STOLE,” noting that there are plenty of examples on the first album and now, the second seems to be shaping up similarly.
Did Camila sample this song or did she just steal it?? pic.twitter.com/4guRvBkSlU
