Johnny Depp accused of stealing prisoner's poems

American actor Johnny Depp and British guitarist Jeff Beck were accused of stealing poems by Slim Wilson, a prisoner who served time in prison for murder and armed robbery in the 1960s, Rolling Stone reported.

According to the publication, folklorist Bruce Jackson, who released a collection of Wilson's poems in 1974.

“The only two lines I could find in the whole piece that [Depp and Beck] contributed are ‘Big time motherf—-r’ and ‘Bust it down to my level,’” Jackson told Rolling Stone.

“Everything else is from Slim’s performance in my book. I’ve never encountered anything like this. I’ve been publishing stuff for 50 years, and this is the first time anybody has just ripped something off and put his own name on it.”

Representatives for Depp and Beck have not commented on the accusations of stealing the poems.
