Calvin Harris Called Out For Ripping Off Apashe In New Music Video, Here's His Response

It’s high-quality to take inspiration from different sources each every so often — in reality, in a world the place creating one thing wholly authentic is mainly unimaginable and individuals are uncovered to extra media than they notice, making one thing much like one thing else is just about inevitable. However, sure precautions should be taken to be sure that inspiration doesn’t cross the road into straight up ripping an idea.


Apashe’s music video for “Majesty,” from his Requiem EP, is a drug-fueled journey following a predominant character and others using horses in streetwear within the wilderness. Calvin Harris simply launched the music video for his collaboration with Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, “Giant.” And whereas the bulk the video is in an city setting, the scenes depicting horses and extensive open fields are similar to Apashe’s video.

Calvin responded to the decision out, linking to a VICE article on the Dublin teenage horse thugs, “Check the ref from 2014 and cease insulting legends.” It’s unclear if he’s referring to himself as a legend right here or the Dublin horse thugs.
