Ciara's forthcoming album 'Jackie' will be released on May 4, Vibe reports. The LP will be the Atlanta singer's sixth studio release and first in two years.

'Jackie', which Ciara has named after her mother, will likely feature the recently-released single 'I Bet'. The track caused a bit of a stir last month after Usher producer Jermaine Dupri claimed it was "a complete rip-off" of 'U Got It Bad'.

Dupri was speaking in the aftermath of last month's ruling at the US District Court in Los Angeles, where Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to Marvin Gaye's family after a jury determined their 2013 hit 'Blurred Lines' copied elements of the R&B legend's 1977 single 'Got To Give It Up'.

"Ciara’s new single is a complete rip-off of Usher's 'U Got It Bad'," said Dupri, who co-produced the track in 2001 with Bryan-Michael Cox. "I'm clear on what I made and I'm clear on how music influences people and I'm clear on chord changes and how people move things…It might not be as evident as the 'Blurred Lines' situation, but I believe the same thing happened to me."

Dupri also compared 'I Bet' – which was produced by Harmony 'H-Money' Samuels and Chris 'TEK' O'Ryan – to another song he and Cox produced: R&B singer Tamia's 2004 track 'Still'. The So So Def owner and occasional rapper claimed he, Cox and Usher will be asking to be credited. Scroll down to listen to 'I Bet'.
