Ed Sheeran is being sued for $100 million for allegedly copying parts of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”. It’s alleged the singer ripped off sections of the 1973 classic for his number one hit “Thinking Out Loud”. According to the legal documents, the singer copied “the melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bass line, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation and looping”.

Structured Asset Sales is the company that filed the claim which owns part of the copyright of Gaye’s song. This is not the first time Ed Sheeran has had to respond to such claims, as the singer settled a $20 million copyright infringement claim against his hit song “Photograph”.

It is yet to be known whether there is any truth to this claim as Sheeran has yet to respond to the filed case.
