After a lot of negative publicity for Will.I.Am for ‘stealing’ a bunch of tracks for his new album, including Rebound, Epic, Tung and others, he responds to the whole situation in this video below. He says he has been unfairly accused of stealing Rebound from Arty and Mat Zo. He says he gave them credit, and that “you can’t steal if you credited somebody”. We’ll see how this turns out.

It seems Will.I.Am did more than just sample Arty and Mat Zo’s masterpiece called ‘Rebound’ on his latest track ‘Let’s Go’. William collaborated with Chris Brown on this track and, at first glance, it might surprise you how good this actually sounds. Unfortunately, when the melody kicks in it becomes clear how impudently Will.I.Am steals the creative work of Arty and Mat Zo. We expected so much better from Will.i.am, but it seems he is no better than Flo Rida.

Arty just tweeted that it all happened without a heads up to either him or Anjuna Beats, the record label that solely owns the rights for ‘Rebound’. They never cleared rights through Anjunabeats, which is the only label that owns the rights for “Rebound”.

There is basically one question left. Will.I.Am: Creative mind or a thief? Listen and decide for yourself!

Will.i.Am Breaks silence and talks on stealing Rebound for his latest collab featuring Chris Brown

“I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it ’cause I asked him [to] make it newer ’cause I don’t just wanna take your song and rap over it. But in a year’s time, time’s gone by [and] we preferred writing over and using the [original] rebound. Something happened and the clearance … hopefully we resolved the issue. I’m a fan of Arty; I think he’s great and the world needs to know about how talented those guys are. It’s sad that it’s turned into a fiasco but hopefully it’s resolved because I’m a fan of those guys to the point where I wrote to their instrumental.”
