Dancehall artiste Flourgon on Tuesday filed a US$300-million lawsuit against American pop singer Miley Cyrus in the US District Court, Manhattan, New York. In the suit, Flourgon (given name Michael May), alleges that Cyrus’s 2013 hit song We Can’t Stop closely resembles We Run Things, his song from 1988.

Additionally, Flourgon claims that Cyrus infringed on his copyright.

We Run Tings was produced by Hugh “Redman” James and topped charts in Jamaica and United States ethnic market.

Flourgon accused Cyrus and her label RCA Records, owned by Sony Corp, of misappropriating his material, including the phrase “We run things. Things no run we,” which she sings as “We run things. Things don’t run we.”
