Did Childish Gambino Steal 'This Is America'?

Given the song's success, it was only a matter of time before Childish Gambino would be accused of plagiarizing his hit song "This Is America." However, in this instance, the claims seem pretty legit. Some Twitter users have taken notice that "America" sounds more than a little similar to the 2016 track "American Pharaoh" by Jase Harley. There are striking similarities between the two, including a similar song structure and cadence. Gambino, as per usual, has yet to respond. However, a member of Gambino's management team has dismissed the claims, stating that the song is actually three years old and they "have the Pro Tools files to prove it." What do you guys think? #WhosRightWhosWrong
