Soulja Boy leads a rising call for the Italian Pop princess Ariana Grande to credit him for work he says she stole!
Full story below…
Grande is accused of exploiting art created by musicians of colour with her soon-to-be smash ‘7 Rings‘, and has spent the last few days watching a debate on her supposed “theft” intensify online as critics claim she, or someone in her camp, is feeding her fans concepts stolen from lesser-known Urban staples.
Shawty stole 2 chainz’ trap house, soulja boy’s flow, and black women’s everything else. Ariana Grande has literally entered Miley’s ‘Bangerz’ era without the (useless) vulgarity and y’all letting it slide cuz she “minds her business” ?

Now, Soulja has revealed that he feels the same way and thinks it’s time the Pop superstar credited him for what he says are his clear contributions to her flow on the Urban track.
Y’all gassing up @ArianaGrande when she’s a whole culture vulture. Inappropriating black culture & dgaf about black ppl. I’m sick of these white artists making money off black music when there’s so many black singers who are far more talented l can’t even get support from labels

Ariana Grande has fake tanned her skin to the extreme, enlarged her lips, and fakes a stereotyping Blaccent. Cultural appropriation is the exploitation of non-white cultures. It isn’t literally claiming to be a different race. Face it—she’s a white woman in brown/blackface. pic.twitter.com/TeUD1h5O7W

If we’re gonna keep it 100 then so is he. He’s selling a fake game console with Nintendo games that he never got the rights to. He’s gotta cease and desist letters and has ignored them and is trying to make himself look like a real businessman when he makes his living off of his old singles and appearing in reality shows. 7 rings is trash and so is Soulja boy.
Despite our personal feelings about Soulja Boy, all of his points & feelings are valid. Everything he claims in reference to her stellar track, are unfortunately TRUE. He has a right to bring attention to her theft — most of which I’m sure was presented to her to perform without her real knowledge of its roots.
I agree 100 percent.
I saw the receipts and David’s screenshots smh
I see them too Cinammon. Everytime that BIH comments let’s attack her. I have TROLL accounts for all my personalities. Let’s get her ger her. HEHEHE Soulaja Boy all grow up. He could get some of this warm boooty hole. I’ll RIDE him like a SOULJA, make his toes curl, and just when he think he in it deep imma take him to my second boooty hole. Most players don’t know NOTHING about that second boooty hole. That’s when u it it real good from the balls to the tip of the d*** but u gotta be at least 9 inches to reach that deep. Pound this. Drill this. Gut this out fo sho.
@FakeJasmine listen young lady or young man I don’t know whichever u prefer but you need serious help. The amount of emails you sent to David is out of order. You need to come to Buddha namaste
Cinn girl just ignore it. Our convo was so special lastnight don’t let it get to you. We’ll Kiki when we all 3 have lunch next week. Ur going to gag honey!!!!
I mean we all KNEW THAT!!??♂️
She IS a thief. From the song that she basically just mashed a bunch of other people’s songs together to make, to blatantly ripping off the pink trap house from 2 Chainz. She’s a thief. And I mean… you can argue that everybody draws inspiration from everybody, but this is waaayyyyy too much. And if you look at Ariana’s history, she’s ALWAYS been a thief. Stealing Mariah Carey’s style from the very beginning. She’s never presented an original idea a day in her life.
Her singing career literally started as a Mariah Carey copycat….. sis been stealing since day one.
I know Ariana is doing very well at the moment, but this is why she will never be an icon. She’s just another culture vulture with a decent voice. She will probably get back with Big Sean or be linked with another African-American rapper fairly soon to prove how “authentic” she is
Italian? ? smh
They all sampled the same song from the sound of music. I’m glad someone above called Ari out for cultural appropriation. Either way it’s a rubbish reductive song like most of Soulja’s career and it’s dribble that her sheep of fans will love anyway.
Nobody saying the right thing. If she stole then sue her. If you own the rights and feel like your right sue her and everybody else that took from you. You know why he hasn’t done it because he doesn’t own it. Lol
i mean at this point everyone is borrowing from everyone https://youtu.be/F39YZWndle8
