According to Mediatakeout.com, R.Kelly and Usher have been caught red handed in thievery from a group called “Nephu”, and their song, “Same Girl”. This kind of track-jacking isn’t a new thing in music, as many artists have been tried in court for the same offenses, most recently Beyonce.
An insider who is close to the guys alerted Mediatakeout about the song, which was never released, due to Nephu going through complications with their label. [Nephu]” has been working so hard to make it … and their song stolen from vets in the game.” “That’s the lowest thing that can be done to a group of young black males that on the come up.”
Here are the two songs in their entirety. The resemblance is uncanny.
Props to J-Hov for the audio.

This shit is crazy, and i kinda liked that song..
its like they stole food off these niggers plates, it says nephu been workin real hard n got they shit stolen, wud expect better from 2 well respected artists
Caught.But it's whoever claim they wrote and produce the song whose is the real the thieve, not the person or in this case persons who perform the song.
i cant really say anything but i really dig dis song so ima keep playing it.. i mean the r kelly n usher version lolz
That's some dirty ass shit! I think R. Kelly should jus' go back to peeing on people.
This story has been floating around for a while now, but I guess the media has to create as much negative energy as they can against R. since he got an album coming out in 2 days.
if they stole it...R kelly will just pay em! He been to trial yet so he can do anything he want. And tell me this...(HOW YOU STEAL THAT...when its so simple??) lol
mannnn
USHER DOSNT STILL ANYTHIN, R KELL ALREADY STOLE FROM JOHNNY CASH WITH THAT IN THE CLOSET ISH...
WOW SWAGGER JACKERS IN THE R & B INDUSTRY NOW!...
WELL THATS WHAT A.S.C.A.P. IS FOR
Negative energy?.... Did people forget that quickly that he pissed on a 14 year old girl?
Niggas are hilarious, I tell you. Negative energy created by the media indeed. The hell do they have to benefit from this?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^lmfao! but i dont know why yall are surprised, they all do it. The sad thing is that the r.kelly and usher version is a hit, so when they deny it the public wont think twice. Thats the rules of the game. lol. In the streets when you hustlin they said its not if but when you gonna get robbed you just gotta take that L....and thats what them niccas gotta do....
mac_cuzzo good point to bout that johnny cash thing...cus its true.....and R.kelly stole the OH OH OH OH OH OH thing when he used to say it on his songs. He stole it from lenny williams song cus i love you.
man these niggas shud be happy they stole that shit..at least they out there a lil bit now...usher and r kelly make it sound better anyway...niggas shud just come to a agreement so everyone eatin....
Copyright yo SHIT
When Will The Swagger Jackin Stop

Think before you speak homie why would you be happy somebody stole your idea and gettin fat off of it This song could have blew them up you never know and now we will never know. Thats like gettin jacked then the jackers start serving your fiends your work. If you think thats exactly what happened. And as far as the free prees goes it could backfire cause Usher and R. Kelly are so well liked
It will help the them noticed no doubt and i can see how they are getting screwed over but this could still launch nephu's career cause producers could look up there other songz and get em out there
Yall need to differentiate the difference between Stealing and Paying Homage to. Everybody knows lenny williams' song. Kellz couldn't just "steal" an "O O O O O O" blatantly, he took something hot from back n the day to a new era in music that had no clue to whom Lenny Williams was. (Oldheads knew what was up, youngins like me had no clue he got it from lenny, then as u grow up, u realize what the artist did n be like... Ohhhhhhhh) Homage. And music is all about originality, and in the same token, music is also about feeding off of others with ideas and such... I aint sayin stealing an entire song is right. (Cuz its not at all)... but its cool when u take an idea, and FLIP IT on some original shit.
But still.. They stole they song... That's FUCKED up.
if u go to nephu myspace page they say that r kelly didn't steal the song from them. they say that the person who wrote the song for the label let them record it but decided to give the song to r kelly.
OH... Well, if thats the case... Jus sucks for them. :(
Fuck that.
They stole that shit.
sucks 4 nephu, kinda feel bad for the niggas cause this song coulda made em big
I woz jus thinkin that buckyou, this song cuda made these guys big we know their name thru this publicity i guess but still song wuda made em huge and now they gotta come up with anotha one.
Stil i dnt think r kelly wudve bin told that the song was stolen, blames gotta land on the song writers not him.
Am I the only one that thinks that that "nephu" is 1: not the original writers of the song and it was given to kells to sell extremely well and 2: That they really didn't give a fuck about the song and decided to start trppin as soon as it got big, Like everybroke nigga does? Just a thought!
WhoozThaBoss thats what i meant homie...i didnt mean literally steal it, but the idea came from that song....but you just clarified it more..lol.
how yall niggas know they didnt buy the song off them niggas???and they seen how much the song is blowning up and they feel like they didnt get payied enough...i mean it happens...thats crazy though the 2 songs is damn there identical
man, thats really fucked up!!!! Bisexuals and molestars i swear!
mane i heard dis on the radio like 20 times,
O fa Sho! Happy Memorial Day everyone... I'm bout 2 eat some burgers, deviled eggs, fried chicken, bbq chicken, ribs, hot dogs, and any other part of a pig u can put on a grill. Betchu I come back lookin like Cassidy after jail. Chea!

damn thats fucked up. i can imagine the diss track hook now like cam did wit jay "im not a groova im a user" LOL
"That's some dirty ass shit! I think R. Kelly should jus' go back to peeing on people." (Posted by some dude a long time ago.......)
Funniest shit I heard all day! (although I did JUS wake up...lol)
LIKE I SAID
NIGGAS ALWAYS GONE STILL
R.Kelly does'nt need to steal, look at all the creative music he's made ''12 play'',
''Showdown'',''I Wish'',''Feelin on Yo Booty'',''Ignition'' etc. He's also a veteran
in the industry who knows the copyright laws, so he would'nt be dumb enough to steal
a song.
R.kelly's been a fraud since the beginning everyone is finally getting exposed
hot both versions thats bogus though stealin from them guys like that i know they workin hard tryin to get on i hope they dont do nothin crazy

THE END
OK OK I HATE WHEN BLOG SHYT AINT POSTED RITE ON THIZ SITE (WHICH IS QUITE OFTEN).... SOHH.COM ALREADY SPOKE UPON THIS BOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. BECUZ USH N KELLZ AINT STEAL THIS SONG LIKE UR WRECKLESSLY CLAIMING.if u wanna know the REAL story, TAKE A LOOK FOR YASELF - http://blogs.sohh.com/soul/archives/2007/05/usher_rkelly_an.html
Look hatemebytch is right Nephu did say that R.Kelly did not steal the song Same Girl. Only thing that happened was that it was dropped from the album and the Writer of the song went to R.Kelly and Usher with it. If you do not believe it check out their site. http://www.myspace.com/nephumusic
Wait, wait, wait, so r u2 sayin that Fullmetal is A DISCREDITABLE SOURCE???? I'm just askin... 4 the record, since this IS the news section...
thanks Mr Hip Hop...dont i be gettin to the points my dude??
Thats some bullshit right there!!! So you mean to tell me the 2 top RnB stars in the game couldn't come together and make an original song? WOW @ the industry right now! www.myspace.com/sthamogul
Damn thats crazy
damn...i guess that sucks for them guys who never got a chance to play their version....oh well....r. kelly and usher did a much better job anyways.....i don't believe they would steal that from a couple of unheard losers....lol....oh well they can laugh about that one on the way to the bank.
real talk yall - i heard that they bought the rights to the song and shit. So they didnt really steal it. But even still, they didnt do much to change it up a bit. Sounds like they singing the same song after i listened to the original version
Thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same shit.....Different toilet..........
Come on now! Haven't we gotten enough of feeding into everything the media has to dish out about our favorite celebrities? The truth behind those allegations is that the group Nephu did record the song about a year before Kellz & Usher but the their label didn't choose it for their album therefore the songs creator decided to go elsewhere and sell the song. Thus, we have the hit from Usher & Kellz! One would only think the two of them have been involved in the industry long enough to better than to steal a song from another artist. Give the guys a break! They're only entertainers!
FUCK R.KELLY!
He's been stealing shit for a minute! Rapist muthafucka!
He even took Bow Wow's shit...and then called it a remix!
Fuck outta here!
~Be Eazy!
nephu shouldve copyrighten that shit.
every body do dat shit like i wanna fuck you in ten years sumbody else gone tke dat shit n flip it n make it hot or hotter
a but dat shit iz hot doe n it wud be hotter if he signed dem niggaz b4 he stole dey shyt
Damn caught red handed! That sucks...big time! And to Nephu I feel yall cuz i make music too and i'll be blowed if someone would have stole my WHOLE song.
OK, it's clearly represented in this topic that we would clearly walk right off tha bridge if everyone else did because people don't check anything out for themselves. There are few on here who got it, but for tha ones that don't...WoW
This was NOT stolen, their writer gave it to R.Kelly and he used Usher for tha other part, and they made it hotter with a tiny adjustment to a few words...Why would they change tha words, it was given to them...Why is it hard to understand that this Nephu group cut tha record but it was wack so their label didn't use it...so instead of throwing it out, their people gave it to someone else to see if they could do something with it...tha headline of this topic is kool, because it ask a question saying did they, but to say that they stole it and their suppose to be vets, and it's sooo low and all that other stuff is a huge false start and just proves that we will swallow anything that is put in front of our face...It's kool not to like R.Kelly, and yea he be using other peoples songs and lyrics, but like I said before music is a unstoppable revolving, recreating, and not to mention reusing process that will always be what it is...I was kinda bothered that R.Kelly dropped that "I'mma Flirt" like it was his song and not Bow Wow's but that don't mean he stole it, it just means he capitalized on it where he saw an opening...
First of all it is VERY VERY common in the music business ESPECIALLY r and b to have writers and shit, its very likely that the song was GIVEN to kells and usher......
Did anybody see the movie five heartbeats where thier record company tried to give one of their new hit songs to a white group and the heart beats started trip...?? I know its a movie but that really happens...lol
But anyway, them dudes saw the future...they saw all the paper that kells was about to rake in especially having usher on the joint, and neph was like FUCK THAT! IM BOUT TO GET SOME OF THAT MONEY!
mediatakeout is the fakest, most bullsh!t site i ever been to
