Plies Sues Megan Thee Stallion, Others for Copyright Infringement

Rapper Plies has filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B, and Soulja Boy for copyright infringement related to his 2008 track 'Me & My Goons'. He alleges that Soulja Boy used his beat for 'Pretty Boy Swag' in 2010, and that Megan and GloRilla's summer hit 'Wanna Be', which features Cardi B on the remix, also appropriated his work. The lawsuit names several entities as defendants, including Megan's Hot Girl Productions, Soulja's Collipark Productions, and major record labels like Universal Music Group and Interscope. Plies is seeking damages, although specific amounts have not been disclosed. The artists involved have yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit. This legal action comes on the heels of Plies expressing support for those affected by the recent election results.
