Demi Lovato currently finds herself in trouble with noise pop duo Sleigh Bells after they accused her of sampling two of their songs in her new track, Stars, without permission.

The US band Sleigh Bells are suggesting that Demi has sampled parts of their songs Infinity Guitars and Riot Rhythm on her latest song Stars without clearing it with them.

The band tweeted earlier this week:

There has been no response on Twitter from Demi regarding the sampling issue, however the production company who worked on Stars have said: "We did not use any samples in Demi Lovato's song Stars. She Demi only wrote top line."

Demi's fans have been replying to Sleigh Bells on Twitter in her defence:

In response to Demi's fans, Sleigh Bells have since said:

The song in question is Demi Lovato's Stars. Listen to the track below.
