Her songs don´t cost a thing? [more on the old JLo stories] Her songs don´t cost a thing? 5:52PM 05/26/2002 It hasn´t been smooth sailing for singer-turned-actress Jennifer Lopez, who is facing allegations of musical thievery and manipulation from all corners. The leggy Latino was recently under fire for reportedly pinching a sample that rival diva Mariah Carey was intending to use on her ill-fated Glitter soundtrack album. Now Lopez is accused of failing to properly acknowledge the aid given to her by two of America´s rising R&B stars, namely Christina Milian and Ashanti. Milian, 18, wrote the hit song Play, which was handed to Lopez by Sony Executives for use on her 2001 album, J.Lo. Her vocals feature heavily throughout the track, but Milian was not rightfully credited for her musical input. In addition, newcomer Ashanti lent her talents to a Ja Rule-penned remix version of Lopez´ hit I´m Real -- only to discover that her input would also be unfairly trivialized by the label. "At first I was like, ´Dag, those are my vocals that people are listening to," Ashanti told WENN. "It was weird because people were saying it doesn´t sound like her all the way. I knew that it was going to get out sooner or later. "It´s not a hatred thing. All I´m saying is that I did my part. J.Lo did her part, kept some of my vocals in and had a hit record," she added. A storm began brewing about the song last year, when Lopez was accused of miming on the track, which she denied. Taken from "MariahWorld.com"
