The Indian film industry, especially Bollywood, has often found themselves in a spot for plagiarizing world music, but, this time American rapper T-pain caught himself for plagiarizing a tune from a Bollywood movie.

In T-Pain's latest song, 'That's Yo Money,' a recurring flute tune is used which sounds uncannily similar to the Hindi song 'Tum Hi Ho' from the movie Aashiqui 2, which turned out to be a chart-topper and a fan favorite when it released in 2013.

Pursuing the plagiarism claim, the song, which was released on December 13, was taken down from YouTube, after T-Series, who own the rights to 'Tum Hi Ho' complained of copyright violation.

The song still exists on other channels and on Twitter, as well as T-Pain's official tweet releasing it.

Twitter didn't hang back to call him out for copying the tune, in any way.

The rapper's response to the accuses have also been perplexed, and slightly debatable as he denied accountability for the move, and also called people pointing out the plagiarism out 'brown twitter.'

His tweet unquestionably didn't go down well with people.
