Bappi Lahiri has filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming the recent hit single `Addictive` by `Truth Hurts` borrowed heavily and without permission from a 20-year-old Hindi song. The lawsuit also charges American producers, including hip hop impresario Dr Dre, with practicing a form of "cultural imperialism" by not crediting Third World artists.

Songwriter Bappi Lahiri filed suit in US district court in Los Angeles on Tuesday seeking a halt to the further sale of the album Truthfully Speaking on Aftermath Records, his lawyer said on Wednesday. Lahiri claims that the producers of Addictive lifted four minutes of the original recording by artist Lata Mangeshkar of the song `Thoda Resham Lagta Hai`.
