When you think of wince-inducing song rip off story, your head usually goes to artists from two vastly different genres, like when a Pop RnB track copied, pasted, and Chris Brown-ed an Anjunabeats classic breakdown. If you heard there was a possible problem concerning both Zhu and Duke Dumont though, you may think twice before believing it.
Sadly, there seems to be a legitimate issue between Duke Dumont and Zhu, the former accusing the newly released “Nightclawler” of taking from his unreleased work of the same name.

To be honest, it was difficult to hear identical qualities ourselves, but Dumont claims the vibe and vocal hook were directly copied. Zhu has yet to respond, well kinda, but let us know what direct similarities you hear by listening to the Zhu single below.
