Hit-making fraudster

Veteran Songsmith (VS) is as well-loved as the songs he’s known for. But our mole insists that while VS’ songs truly have as much recall and charm as the seasoned artists who recorded them, he didn’t really write them.

This came to light after VS’ sibling spilled the beans to his former classmate, claiming that it was he who actually wrote the hit songs that we all grew up listening to and singing along with. But the fraudster ended up enjoying the fruits of his sibling’s hard labor. How benevolent! INQ
