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
It's sounds so RedOne. Oh and the beginning sounds like Nicki Minaj's "Starships"
Yes a Ripoff but I love it , Great pop song.
Do we know the credits of this?
America's Most Wanted:
Aluaine Thiam, Carl Falk, Nadir Khayat, Teddy Sky, Rami Yacoub, produced by RedOne

E-type True Believer
Music by Martin "E-Type" Eriksson. Lyrics by Martin "E-Type" Eriksson and Savan Kotecha. Produced by Max Martin, John Amatiello & E-Type. Chorus vocals by Sanne Karlsson. Additional production by Jonas Mansson & Robin Soderman

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?
