Madonna accuses Tory Lanez of 'illegal' use of her song in his 'Pluto's Last Comet' track
Madonna has accused Tory Lanez of copying her song 'Into the Groove' without her permission. She claims that the Canadian rapper has sampled her 1985 classic song for his track 'Pluto's Last Comet' as part of his latest 80s-inspired album 'Alone at Prom', which was released on December 10.
The 'Papa Don't Preach' songstress left a comment on one of the 29-year-old rapper's Instagram posts, indicating that she'd already tried to message him privately regarding his latest track, 'Pluto's Last Comet' sounding like her song, 'Into the Groove.' She also indicated that he should check his messages for the illegal usage of her song.

Madonna wrote, "Read your messages for illegal usage of my song get into the groove!" on one of the Instagram posts of Tory Lanez.
Madonna's 'Into the Groove' was a song created for her 1985 debut film 'Desperately Seeking Susan'. The song later appeared as a bonus track on the worldwide re-issue of her album 'Like a Virgin'. In September, Rolling Stone has listed 'Into the Groove' on its list of 500 Best Songs of All Time.

Tory Lanez's 'Pluto's Last Comet' was produced by Chaz Jackson and Orlando Tha Great. His song interpolates Madonna's single in a noticeable fashion, making it fit with '80s music theme of 'Alone at Prom'.
So far, Tory Lanez hasn't publicly responded to Madonna's accusation and it is still unclear if the pop icon plans to take any legal actions against him. But, if she decides to pursue the case, it would add to Tory's current problems. The rapper is facing a felony assault charge for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He is scheduled to return to the court in January 2022.
Also, in recent weeks, Tory wasn't the only rapper that Madonna has had beef with. The Queen of Pop got back at 50 Cent after he commented about her provocative photos on social media. He wrote, "That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don't get her old ass up. LMFAO." She called out 50 Cent comments as, "misogynistic", "sexist" and "ageist."
Below are Madonna's 'Into the Groove' and Tory's 'Pluto's Last Comet' and we leave it to our readers to decide if the pop icon's accusation stands valid or not:
