No song of the summer contenders for Iggy Azalea this year? No problem. She's doing just fine making bread off of Jidenna's highly popular chart-topping ode to suit life, "Classic Man." Listeners with fine-tuned ears have already pointed out that Jidenna's jiggy song bears a musical similarity to Iggy's "Fancy," which itself was something of a DJ Mustard rip-off, and the other day Iggy confirmed to a fan on Twitter that her 2014 hit is indeed sampled on Jidenna's current one.

Complex obtained the "Classic Man" official credits and sure enough, all six "Fancy" writers—including Amethyst "Iggy" Kelly and Charlotte "Charli" Aitchison—are listed, as well as four of its five producers. Whatever percentage Iggy is receiving, it's being healthily distributed.
