Destiny Nicole Frasqueri, better known by her stage name Princess Nokia, has called out Ariana Grande over her new single “7 Rings.”
The 26-year-old singer of Puerto Rican decent, posted a video to Twitter accusing Grande of stealing her song, “Mine,” from her 2017 debut mixtape 1992 Deluxe.
In the video, she can be seen bopping her head while listening to “7 Rings” before playing her own track. She then compared both songs and remarked on how similar they sound.
“Does that sound familiar to you? ’Cause that sound really familiar to me,” she says. “Ain’t that the lil’ song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmm…sounds about white.”
The lyrics from Nokia’s track are “Rock my many styles then go natural for the summer/ Hair blowing in the hummer/ Flip the weave, I am a stunner/ It’s mine, I bought it/It’s mine, I bought it.”
In “7 rings,” Grande, 25, raps, “My wrist, stop watchin’, my neck is flossin’/Make big deposits, my gloss poppin’/You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it/I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.”
But that’s not all…Princess Nokia also liked a tweet that reads, “AG’s new album literally plagiarizes flows, words, bars from Nokia.” OUCH.
“Mine” was released in 2017 as part of her debut studio album 1992 Deluxe, while “7 Rings” is the second single to be released from Grande’s upcoming fifth studio album, Thank U, Next.
Grande has yet to comment on the accusations, but earlier today, fans also called her out for stealing Soulja Boy’s flow from his 2010 hit “Pretty Boy Swag.”
