Joao Brasil claims the chorus of the Material Girl's new song Give Me All Your Luvin', which she performs with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., is a rip-off of his own tune L.O.V.E. Banana.
His record company bosses and legal team are now considering whether to take court action over the allegation - but Brasil is adamant Madonna is his heroine and he doesn't want to sue her.
He tells Brazil's Folha da Sao Paulo newspaper, "I still don't understand what happened. I'm a huge fan of hers. If it's plagiarism, then even better.

But personally I don't want to do anything. The last thing I need in my life is a fight with Madonna."
