Eric Bellinger responds to plagiarism accusations of Crush’s “Oasis”

Crush‘s “Oasis” was under fire recently with speculations of plagiarism because it sounded similar to Eric Bellinger‘s “Awkward.”However, it seems that Eric Bellinger has other thoughts as he responded in a short tweet on July 24th. “I’ve been seeing all the “Awkward/Oasis” tweets… The songs sounded similar, but I don’t think it was plagiarism. Keep killin it @crush9244” he writes.

Fans have responded to Bellinger’s post with positive remarks about the singer’s encouragement to Crush as well as his statement regarding the incident.

Meanwhile, Crush overtook Girl’s Generation on the charts with “Oasis” earlier this month, proving to the general public that he is an artist to keep an eye on.
