Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige have been sued by two musicians claiming that they ripped off their original recording, reports TMZ.

Jermaine Jumpp and Michael C. Adams have alleged that they handed a CD to the office of producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jenkins that included their song 'On My Grind'.

The lawsuit, filed at the federal US court, claims that four years later Blige recorded 'Enough Cryin'', produced by Darkchild, which they say sounds similar to their original recording.

Jay-Z has a writing credit on Blige's track.

Further details regarding the lawsuit or what the claimants are seeking have not been released.
