Usher Lost $44 Million To ‘Bad Girl’ Songwriter In Lawsuit

Philadelphia songwriter Daniel Marino is finally getting paid the money he deserves. As reported by BillboardMarino proved that he wrote the guitar hook, tempo, and chord progression for a song called  “Club Girl.” 

The track was ultimately turned into Usher’s “Bad Girl,” off Confessions. The album is one of the best selling R&B projects of all time, and Marino wasn’t about to lose his creation.
