Breaking News


Nicki Minaj's massive hit "Starships" is full-on deja vu to EDM star Clive Tanaka -- because it sounds pretty damn identical to a song he released a year before Nicki's ... and now he's suing her over it.


Tanaka filed a federal suit in Chicago this week against Nicki, 3 writers, and the song's producer -- claiming copyright infringement on his 2011 tune ... "Neu Chicago."


Listen to a snippet of '"Starships" ... and then listen to Tanak's song (below) -- matter of fact, you can even listen to 'em at the same time.
