Soulja Boy Accuses Ariana Grande of Stealing '7 Rings' Flow: 'You're a Thief'
Soulja Boy is putting Ariana Grande on blast.
Just a day after Princess Nokia accused the singer of stealing her swag, the “Crank That” rapper is also calling out Grande over similarities between her flow on “7 Rings” and his 2010 hit “Pretty Boy Swag.”

“You’re a thief,” Soulja tweeted on Saturday (Jan. 19).
The rapper, who slammed Drake, Kanye West, and Tyga during his now infamous “Breakfast Club” interview last week, also demanded credit from the pop star.
“Give me my credit. Period,” he wrote in response to a tweet where Grande thanked her friends, including Tayla Parx, Victoria Monét, Njomza, and Kaydence for penning the “celebratory bop.”

Grande added, “shift your attention here. these women are impeccable and they are who you should be talking about,” to which Soulja shot back: “Lol stop stealing my swag. Word.”
“7 Rings” has also drawn comparisons to Princess Nokia’s 2017 song “Mine.” Taking to social media, the New York rapper pointed out the similarities. “Do that sound familiar to you ’cause that sound really familiar to me. Oh my God!” she said. “Ain’t that the little song I made about brown women and their hair? Hmmm… Sounds about white.”

That’s not all. 2 Chainz also weighed in on the resemblance between his 2011 song “Spend It,” where he raps, “I’m riding ’round and I’m gettin’ it, I’m riding ’round and I’m gettin’ it.”
“7 Rings” includes a similar hook: “I want it, I got it / I want it, I got it / I want it, I got it / I want it, I got it.”
He posted a clip of Grande’s “7 Rings” video with a reference to Soulja Boy aka Big Drako in the caption: “Tryna figure out if I should Big Draco @arianagrande 🤣🤣… y’all tell me in the comments.”
