The 2012 hit will now be co-credited to former N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, after she launched a lawsuit claiming she had written it with Will.i.am for her own solo album.
A five-year court battle over the multi-platinum selling hit ‘Scream & Shout’ has finally been resolved, with Britney Spears and Will.i.am losing out to British singer Tulisa Contostavlos and forcing to credit her as a co-songwriter.
Former N-Dubz singer Tulisa will now be officially recognized as a writer of the 2012 smash single, after launching a lawsuit over five years following the release of ‘Scream & Shout’.
The 29-year-old claimed that she co-wrote the track with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am and had planned to include it on her first solo album, The Female Boss, apparently with the title ‘I Don’t Give A F***’. However, will.i.am’s producers allegedly didn’t like the version that they had come up with and offered it instead to Britney Spears to collaborate with him.
‘The Voice UK’ judge will.i.am admitted as much himself soon after Tulisa’s suit was lodged, saying she had worked on the track “before I did – this is the truth. But the producers of the beat… didn’t want her to have it.”
All money made from the track was frozen back in 2012 upon the launch of the lawsuit, and, now, Tulisa will be gaining 10% of the worldwide publishing rights and income from the song." - Contactmusic.com
