The Weeknd denies stealing "Starboy" beat from Somali-American singer

It seems as if The Weeknd can't catch a break when it comes to Starboy. The singer, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, has been attached to a number of lawsuits centered around his hit record. Recently it was announced that three songwriters from the U.K. were suing Tesfaye over "A Loney Night," a track featured on Starboy, alleging that it sounds identical to their single, "I Need To Love." They're reportedly suing for $150,000 and unspecified damages.
