Justin Bieber and Usher are on the hot seat again for their song, "Somebody to Love," because some pretty powerful judges just ruled ... the duo may have ripped off another artist. The Bieber/Usher collaboration is "Somebody to Love," recorded in 2010. A guy named Devin Copeland, known as De Rico, and his songwriting partner Mareio Overton claim the famous pair ripped off their 2008 song by the same name.
