Someone who copies your style and calls it inspiration.
means A person who steals someone else's ideas, style, or work and passes them off as their own.
from From 'bite,' which in slang has long meant to take or steal — you're sinking your teeth in and tearing off a piece that isn't yours. The slang sense of 'biter' as a copycat or plagiarist rose through hip-hop culture in the late 20th century, where 'biting' someone's rhymes, flow, or style was one of the worst accusations you could level at a rapper. The word rode that scene into wider slang.
