new Akon song, America's Most Wanted?

[etype]

Does the new Akon song, America's Most Wanted have any involvement from Max Martin?  Its chorus is an exact ripoff of the chorus of E-type's True Believer (another Max Martin song).  Feel free to delete this thread if it's discovered that Akon and Max Martin didn't work together on this song.

Good find, really what a rip-off. Don't know if they gave Max a credit.

it's all making sense now.  Akon worked with RedOne on this one

Yeah i could hear it straight away too
its VERY similar

[Feelgoodlies]

It's sounds so RedOne. Oh and the beginning sounds like Nicki Minaj's "Starships"

All this recent Rami/Carl stuff with RedOne isn't them. Label politics is coming in the way of their own song pitches which is giving RedOne the bigger hand in song credits.

Rami re-modeling a Max melody. This is so bizarre.

audio pitch shifted to match True Believer:

Interesting. Anyone knows when this is officially released? Any statements from E-Type officials?
