Lionel Richie Contacted Lawyers Over Adele's 'Hello'


Adele the British born singer has been accused of plagiarism with some accusations from fans, for copying Kurdish artist Ahmet Kaya’s 1985 song Acilara Tutunmak in her ‘25′ album track ‘Million Years ago. One social media user, for example, wrote: “MillionYears Ago has too much similarity with Ahmet Kaya’s Acilara Tutunmak to be just a coincidence @Adele.
Gulten Kaya, the wife of Ahmet who died 15 years ago, told Turkish newspaper Posta that she didn’t believe the similarities between the two songs were intentional.
But mean while soul singer legend Lionel Richie has also came out with full right of song title claim 'Hello'. You can’t use my word without my acknowledgement. However Lionel Richie has admitted well that he contacted his lawyers about tradmarking 'Hello’ after Adele’s comeback single of the same name.
