“It’s quite simple,” one fan wrote. “If you sample/interpolate several songs within a new recording, all of those original songwriters receive credit along with those who contributed to the new composition.”
“As one of the greatest songwriters of all time, I think you how lol,” another user wrote, while a third commented, “This is kind of a boring narrative at this point and it’s sad to see artists’ attempt to devalue one another.”
After seeing the response her original tweet had, Diane replied to her initial tweet with: “Ok, it’s prob samples that add up the amount of writers.”

This is kind of a boring ass narrative at this point and it's sad to see artists attempt to devalue one another. Even if she had 50 writers on one song, does that make her any less of an artist? Celine Dion never wrote a song in her life, do we constantly discredit her?
