Katy Perry is being sued by Christian rapper Flame, along with Lecrae and Da’T.R.U.T.H. for copyright infringement. They claim her hit song Dark Horse is not only a ripoff of their track “Joyful Noise”, but it’s also been tarnished with paganism and witchcraft. You can watch both of the videos below, but Rapzilla has put together a track combining both songs so you can judge for yourself:
