TLC songwriters given new credit
The songwriters behind TLC’s 1999 megahit “No Scrubs” are now listed as cowriters of Ed Sheeran’s No. 1 hit “Shape of You.”
On the website for performance rights organization ASCAP, Kandi Burruss, Tameka Cottle and Kevin Briggs have been added as co-writers of “Shape of You,” co-written by Sheeran, Steve Mac and John McDaid.
“Shape of You” is currently on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Representatives for Sheeran and ASCAP didn’t respond to emails from the Associated Press seeking comment.
Burruss and Tiny were members of the R&B girl group Xscape. Burruss, also a reality star on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” posted Sunday on her Instagram page.
