Rapper Plies Sues Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla Over Soulja Boy Sample Used In ‘Wanna Be’
Plies filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B and Souja Boy, claiming the song "Wanna Be" sampled his track "Me & My Goons."
Rapper Plies is suing Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B and Souja Boy for copyright infringement over allegations that the 2024 song “Wanna Be” features an uncleared sample from his 2008 track “Me & My Goons.” The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court, says the Megan and GloRilla stole Plies’ material indirectly – that they used a legally-licensed sample of a Soulja Boy song that itself illegally borrowed from “Goons.” Plies ( Algernod Washington), best known for his 2007 singles “Shawty” and “Hypnotized,” names all four stars ( Megan Pete, Gloria Woods, Belcalis Almanzar and Deandre Way) as defendants in the lawsuit, as well as various companies and labels allegedly involved in the song.
