Ariana Grande’s #7Rings rides Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” wave while the video is plucked straight out of 2 Chainz’s pink trap house. I just...idk pic.twitter.com/x357S8d9of

Princess Nokia has accused Ariana Grande of stealing the flow from her 2017 track “Mine” for "7 Rings": “Does that sound familiar to you? ‘Cause that sounds really familiar to me." http://cos.lv/E6J630nn22D pic.twitter.com/KvDRelE7EC
She's right, you know. https://twitter.com/princessnokia/status/1086316612511322113 …

princess nokia is really flattering herself thinking ariana took time out of her day to copy her songpic.twitter.com/CJUumlAsFx
Girl, nothing about this is original or unique. It’s a common trap flow, common flex lyrics. I promise you no one intentionally “copied” you. Lmao step up your pen game
Bless Nokia but that flow wasn't new when she used it either.
I think the Nokia argument is more about the hair lyric/content than the flow
"mine" sound like "spend it." "spend it" sound like flockaveli. i'm not taking a hard stance because i get that there's a deeper complaint about this rollout that i want to hear more about. but in the case of this song, it's pretty rich to claim complete ownership of the concept.
I think ppl's concern here is specific. less about the sonic origins of "spend it"/"mine" & more about the context of Ariana being white & rapping about buying hair and Princess Nokia rapping about buying hair and the policing of+fixation with black and brown image by white ppl
I wonder why princess nokia isn’t talking about how she copied Kali Uchis song ‘honey baby’pic.twitter.com/V5oG710Hc2

Okay she has a point but Soulja Boy is still the blueprint lmao this is just a messssss https://twitter.com/princessnokia/status/1086316612511322113 …
Is it just me or do they not sound alike at all??? https://twitter.com/princessnokia/status/1086316612511322113 …
Idea: Ariana should put 2 Chainz, Nokia and SOULJA Boy on the remix. The end #7Rings
Did Ariana steal Soulja Boy's flow?
