Popular American music group Black Eyed Peas have slammed a $10 million lawsuit against a toy company MGA (the company behind BRATZ) over alleged copyright infringement.
The suit, which was filed on behalf of the music group by its music publisher BMG Rights Management, alleged similarities between one of their iconic tracks, and one sung by a pooping unicorn.
According to the lawsuit, the toys sing a song called ‘My Poops’ at the push of its heart-shaped belly button. However, that track allegedly rips off the rap group’s 2005 hit, ‘My Humps’.
The lawsuit (via Reuters) reported alleged similarities in the songs’ melodies, lyrics, chords and other elements. BMG also said the singer of ‘My Poops’ sounds “very similar” to Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie.

“My poops, my poops my poops my poops. Whatcha gonna do with all that poop, all that poop,” sings the toy.
“I drive my parents crazy, I do it every day,” it continues. On ‘My Humps’, Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie sings “I drive these brothers crazy, I do it on the daily.”
BMG have asked the court for at least $10million (£8.7million) in damages but have declined to comment on the case.
