Songwriter Yasminah is reportedly seeking 5 million dollars from the Canadian singer and his collaborators Daft Punk for copying her 'Jewel of My Life' song.

AceShowbiz - The Weeknd has been hit with a $5 million (GBP3.8 million) lawsuit over his hit song "Starboy".

Songwriter Yasminah claims his hit 2016 track is a copy of her 2009 song "Jewel of My Life", also known as "Hooyo".

According to TMZ sources, two producers previously threatened legal action and subsequently settled with The Weeknd's record label bosses before going to court, but Yasminah is now launching her own lawsuit, claiming she never received any money from the agreement.

She is seeking $5 million from The Weeknd, his collaborators Daft Punk, and bosses at Republic Records.
