Super Producer Lil Ju Made Da Beat Correctly Points Out “Wanna Be” Did Not Sample Plies Song

Plies, who we actually love, recently filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B, and Soulja Boy, claiming that they used his 2008 track “Me and My Goons” without permission. The lawsuit points to Soulja Boy’s 2010 song “Pretty Boy Swag” as the first instance of the beat being used, and alleges that it was later sampled in GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s smash hit “Wanna Be” as well as the remix featuring Cardi B.

Plies’ lawyer said that a musicologist confirmed the beats of “Pretty Boy Swag,” “Wanna Be,” and its remix all sampled “Me and My Goons.” But our Unproblematic King LilJuMadeDaBeat defended Megan and the girls by clearing up the fact that both “Wanna Be” and “Pretty Boy Swag” actually sampled the 2006 track “My Dougie” by Lil Wil, produced by Big E, which came out two years before Plies’ song “Me and My Goons.”

Even though Ju cleared everything up with the fact, Plies’ attorney is maintaining that the lawsuit stands and they will to continue to pursue it unless a settlement is reached.
