Having dominated the Billboard Hot 100 since April, one would think the Black Eyed Peas would be reveling in the success. Instead, they’re embroiled in controversy.

Their most notable scandal involves that incident with Perez Hilton, which ended up with their tour manager being arrested and the self-proclaimed Queen of All Media planning to press charges. Today’s drama comes from some beat-biting done on one of the songs from their recent album.

Apparently, their track “Party All the Time” has a similar sound to “Mancry” by UK electronic outfit, Freeland. Perezzers took it upon himself to post a YouTube video of the two song intros played back-to-back and remind us that this isn’t the first time a project associated with will.i.am has been accused of plagiarism.

Nearly 54% of the voting Predicto Mobile community predicts that the Black Eyed Peas will get sued for unauthorized sampling of Freeland’s song.

“I think they should get sued like everyone else. Just because they’re celebrities doesn’t mean they can get away with it,” says “yoez5933,” who voted yes.

“They knew what they did and should not have done it. Now they need to pay the penalty,” says yes-voting “mnvikings56401.”

“I think honestly that the Black Eyed Peas will get out of it because they have the money,” says “ufal4547,” who along with “zlkj4876, voted no. “Black Eyed Peas are awesome on their own. They wouldn’t need to steal,” says “zlkj4876.”

Will the Peas be taken to court, even though legal matters allegedly prevented the rights from being secured in time?
