Frankmusik writes earlier today:
OMFG. I HAVE BEEN TRACK JACKED BY CHERYL COLE. WTF
I AM SO FUC()ING SHOCKED ABOUT MY TRACK BEING COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF BY CHERYL COLE! #TRACKJACKED
OK SO Cheryl Cole ft Will.i.am - Boy Like You IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF OF A TRACK I DID FOUND HERE
OK so its Will.I.am im pissed at not Cheryl Cole just to clear things up. I heart Ms Cole if anyone looks at my previous tweets. Let me vent
@growingflame Its not the sample that is the problemo here. It’s the whole “I’m going to make the EXACT same loop as FrankMusik”. Dont be rude
@JoeeeAllOver Er no I really do not hate Cheryl. I just finished writing a track about her.
@scottkeenan You are missing the point. Its not the sample. its the fact that Will I Am used it in exactly the same way as I did.
@colezz No No NO hating the Cole. Its not her that I am having a problem with.
@Lewis_Rhys I just found out on twitter. I well impressed with Coles success. I dont have a problem with her. Its Will I Am who ripped me
@Polskigay Yes but its the fact that Will I am did it the EXACT same way as I did lol
@luigimasi Not hating the Cole at all. Easy on the “Lets slate FrankMusik cos no ones heard of him” too.
@Lewis_Rhys Nope I just realized after I wrote that that she obviously didn’t produce the record. Then I found out it was Will I Am. Not hate
@Lewis_Rhys PS I am not doing this for promo. Its plagiarism fair and square. I was/am shocked as anyone would be. I did it 11 months ago!
@jjbrown Er I know its Fleetwood mac. As does everyone one else. BUT Will I Am has ripped my idea big time. End of.
@Lewis_Rhys Yes of course sample all you like! Just dont make the same consecutive loop as I did. Seems as he is MASSIVE and im not.
This is the last thing I say about this. I have no problem with Cheryl Cole. Its Will I Am I have beef with. Goodnight friends and foes xxxx

Frankmusik ‘Confusion Girl’ Video Behind The Scenes
Frankmusik posted some behind the scenes footage from his ‘Confusion Girl’ video shoot. The single is available to download July 5th. Frankmusik talked about the video, as did Holly Valance, who is featured in the clip and requested a kissing scene with the singer/producer, who is also working on her new album.
“‘Confusion Girl’ is about a guy who is completely nuts about a person and the fact that basically she does all these things that make him doubt and question everything. The idea in the video was to sort of translate that confusion and being confused by everything. Holly and I are working together at the moment on an album. I asked her sort of jokingly if she’d be in the video and she said yes.”
