Plies Sues Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and Others Over Alleged Beat Infringement

The lawsuit claims unauthorized use of a beat from Plies' 2008 track 'Me & My Goons' by several prominent artists.

Plies has filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, GloRilla, and Soulja Boy for allegedly using a beat from his song 'Me & My Goons' without permission.
The lawsuit also targets several music labels and production companies, including Universal Music Group and Interscope Records.
Soulja Boy is accused of first using the beat in his 2010 hit 'Pretty Boy Swag,' which was later used in the 2024 track 'Wanna Be' by Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla.
Plies' attorney, Walter Mosley, clarifies that the lawsuit is purely business-related and not an attack on the artists involved.
The lawsuit's timing, following a heated election period, has sparked discussions, but Plies' legal team insists it has been in preparation for months.
