Washington D.C: Pop icon Lady Gaga is facing a copyright lawsuit for her song Shallow from A Star is Born. The suit is filed by songwriter Steve Ronsen who has claimed that Gaga stole the melody of the song from one that released back in 2012, reported Page Six.

To fight her case, the 33-year-old pop singer has hired a New York City lawyer Orin Snyder, who says the superstar will not back down. Snyder said, "Mr Ronsen and his lawyer are trying to make easy money off the back of a successful artist. It is shameful and wrong. I applaud Lady Gaga for having the courage and integrity to stand up on behalf of successful artists who find themselves on the receiving end of such [claims]."Hitting back at Ronsen's claims. Lady Gaga Spotted with New Man on Date Amid Romance Rumours with Bradley Cooper
