Singer Rihanna has been accused of stealing her "B**ch Better Have My Money" song.

Fans of a Houston singer-songwriter named Just Brittany have accused Rihanna of stealing the number after they spotted similarities between the former's song "Betta Have My Money" and Rihanna's newest single, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Just Brittany's track was released nine months ago, and there are common points between the song and Rihanna's number.

As pointed out by The Fader magazine, the two records have almost the same hooks although the melodies are different.

"B**ch Better Have My Money" is the second track from Rihanna's upcoming eighth studio album. Still untitled, the follow-up to 2012's "Unapologetic" is executive produced by Kanye West and is scheduled to come out later this year.
