Demi Lovato is being accused of stealing one of her new songs from Sleigh Bells. The duo openly called out the pop diva on Twitter as they pointed out that their "Infinity Guitars" and "Riot Rhythm" might have been illegally sampled on her "Confident" track called "Stars".
"Demi Lovato flattered you guys sampled Infinity Guitars & Riot Rhythm for 'Stars' but we were not contacted," the New York-based group wrote on Monday, November 2. "Gotta clear those." While Lovato hasn't responded to the tweet, some of her fans have and they're clearly not having it.

Don't air your dirty laundry on the internet," one fan tweeted. Another agreed, "PLS CONTACT DEMI OR HER TEAM INSTEAD OF TWEETING HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA."
"Stars" was co-penned by Savan Kotecha as bonus track off Lovato's latest album, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on Billboard 200. "Infinity Guitars" and "Riot Rhythm", meanwhile, are both featured on Sleigh Bells' 2010 set "Treats".
