Ciara might be trying to climb the charts again, but it looks like not everyone is impressed with her latest studio offering. In fact, music producer Jermaine Dupri is claiming that she might have ripped off Usher's U Got It Bad with her latest hit, I Bet.

According to MTV News, Dupri recently opened up about the music industry's latest song infringement ordeal in an interview and used Ciara's latest song as an example.

He said, "Ciara's new single is a complete rip-off of Usher's 'U Got It Bad.' I'm clear on what I made and I'm clear on how music influences people and I'm clear on chord changes and how people move things," Dupri said. "It might not be as evident as the 'Blurred Lines' situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me."

If that weren't enough, Dupri added that he will be contacting Ciara's music team soon so they can work out the situation in hopes that he will "get credit where credit is due."

According to Extra last Wednesday, Ciara said, "I Bet is inspired by real life. It was one of those topics everyone could relate to."

As far as her new album, Jackie, Ciara said she dedicated the title to her mother of the same name. She explained that since giving birth to her son Future, motherhood has changed her and that she sees the world quite differently as a parent.

Ciara said, "Now being a mom, I can see the world through her eyes." She then joked about getting back into the studio, "I really have to be a successful woman now. Baby ain't cheap and baby's gotta eat, so I go hard these days with a purpose. He's everything to me."
