John Legend has been called many things over his career: talented, hard-working, successful.
But this is a new one: A New Jersey songwriter named Anthony Stokes claims the musician is a hack.
John Legend - Maxine's Interlude
According to court documents filed this week, Stokes says he gave Legend a demo tape in 2004 at the University of North Carolina. He never heard back from the famous singer... but then heard Legend's "Maxine's Interlude" and and believes it was based on Stokes' track, "Where Are You Now?"
Stokes is demanding damages from Legend and attempting to block sales of "Maxine's Interlude."
We've posted Legend's single above and you can listen to Stokes croon his song HERE. Think Stokes has a case?
