Speaking to Kiss FM, The Voice Judge said: I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it 'cause I asked him to make it newer 'cause I don't just wanna take your song and rap over it. But we did that, we collaborated.

But in a year's time, time's gone by and we preferred writing over and using the original rebound. Something happened and the clearence....hopefully we resolved the issue.

The producer argued: Do you like James Brown? Love James Brown. He changed hip-hop. People sample. You heard the song 'American Boy' by Estelle? That original, I did the original instrumental on my song on my album 'Song By Girls'."

The track appears on Will.I.Am's new album '#willpower' which was released this week.

The also album features collaborations with Nicole Scherzinger, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears and is currently sitting at number 2 on the iTunes chart.
