Ariana Grande’s ‘7 Rings’ under plagiarism attack by a bunch of artistes

Ariana Grande does not fail to entertain her fans, which means releasing new singles back to back. Just two months after the former Nickelodeon star released her Thank You, Next album that caused quite a meme-stir, the 25-year-old released yet another album, ‘7 Rings’. Her new album, however, is grabbing quite an attention in a way any artiste would dread-plagiarism. 

Her new album 7 Rings which got dropped off this Friday has come under plagiarism attack, not just by one but several others. The song which is a trap-backed flex that showed Grande rapping about having an absurd amount of money and buying Tiffany rings for her BFFs on a whim have got the attention of many after sounding alarming similar.

Artist Princess Nokia is one such singer who has attacked God is A Woman singer saying that Ariana’s new album sounds like a rip-off from her song ‘Mine’. Nokia uploaded a now-deleted video of her listening to Grande’s track with bemusement before playing ‘Mine’, tagging Grande’s handle in the post.

“Does that sound familiar to you? ’Cause that sound really familiar to me,” she said. “Ain’t that the lil song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmmm… sounds about white.”

The tweet has been re-tweeted by Nokia herself, who said Grande “literally steals flows, words, bars from Nokia”. In 7 Rings,  Grande raps, ‘You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it’, which is essentially the ethos of ‘Mine’ (‘We bought it/it’s ours’, she says), albeit removing the racial context behind Nokia’s song.

Apart from Nokia’s calls of plagiarism, Soulja Boy has also called out Grande stating that there are some similarities to his 2010 single ‘Pretty Boy Swag’.  Soulja Boy has retweeted Grande asking for his “credit. Period.”, asked her to “stop stealing my swag”, and reposted a fan-made video comparing the two tracks.
